[9fans] Porting XeTeX

2008-03-13 Thread Joel C. Salomon
A question for Jonathan et al.: What is required of an operating system to port XeTeX to it successfully? A C compiler? C++? OS-level support for OpenType? Is porting freetype sufficient? A different library? I'm asking mainly because of Plan 9, a UNIX-like OS with a C compiler (but no C++) t

It may be difficult. XeTeX needs a fonts management layer to handle Truetype/Opentype fonts, such as fontconfig in Linux. I am not sure if there is such a library in Plan9. On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 6:12 AM, Paweł Lasek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That might be an interesting case for Plan 9 GCC p
