[Gsg0-devel] [dev] X-platform font support

[Tim C. <tf...@le...>]

This is mostly addressed to Matt, but I hope we can get the whole ball rolling on the list here.  (I'm not sure who is even signed up, but I'm hoping it's 4 of us, or at least 3).

What I've found when writing CONTRAceptive is that the best way to do good cross-platform support is to write a class that has a few initialization routines that have big #ifdefs around them to see if you're in Windows or Linux... they end up rendering fonts to displaylists, and then the display list is just used generically in the rest of the class...  At least, that's the way I did it, and it seems to work well and be fairly clean.

Anyway, this isn't a huge issue and I'm sure Matt can come up with an equally compelling solution.
