First, my thanks to Andrew for creating the plfreetype.c code. That code has been designed to use the freetype library to handle fonts for plplot for drivers (currently only gd.c) that are set up properly with the appropriate drvopt options. I just finished the configuration changes so if you specify --with-freetype, plfreetype.o will be built and put into libplplot[d] under Linux. Although the build is now working, I haven't yet been able to actually execute the plfreetype code successfully under Linux (i.e., -dev png -drivopt text produces an immediate segfault). However, I have used valgrind to diagnose a memory management problem in one line in plfreetype.c, and Andrew is presumably working on getting it fixed as I write this. It is possible this is the last bug before the Linux version of PLplot can use TrueType fonts. This is an exciting prospect so hurry up, Andrew....;-) Alan email: ir...@be... phone: 250-727-2902 FAX: 250-721-7715 snail-mail: Dr. Alan W.
