This duplication of code is undesirable. My impression was that if the code uses pango, then you can relatively simply select between having pango use Xft/ft2/std.X calls. Is this incorrect or were you not including using pango under the heading of a "Gtk port"? > Putting in anti-alias code that works with X regardless of toolkit would > be nice. I think having emacs use Xft2 directly instead of standard X font interface would do it. Cheers, -- Ami Fischman usenet@fischman.org
