Re: [Indic-computing-users] Raghu, ttmkfdir and Code2000

[Tapan S. P. <ta...@ya...>]

Yup, works.  At least for code2000 which Im using.  I dont see why it
wouldnt work for Raghu also...

I suppose this is an OK solution but it is a bit confusing with all the
difft hooks, Gtk 1.2 vs Gtk 2, no XFT vs XFT 1 vs XFT 2....

How does QT approach all this?  Is it using XFT?
