[Fontforge-devel] Fontforge and Xgl/Compiz

[Peter B. <ps...@vi...>]

I've noticed that FontForge (built from sources of 22/8) is not 
compatible with Xgl/Compiz. This is not terribly important, since Compiz 
at present is in the "cute toy" category: but it may be a problem at 
some time in the future, when it becomes more standard. Here are the issues:

Under Xgl alone, some buttons in the Toolkit are blacked out; so are 
some of the information strings at the top of an editing window. Menus 
operate very slowly.

Under Compiz and Xgl, the above is true, and: all windows become 
semi-transparent and text and graphics are very light and hard to see. 
Same with menus and dialog boxes.

I imagine that all this will resolve itself after the eventual migration 
to GTK. I'm not sure it's worth wasting time on at this point, but 
thought I should report it.
