Re: [SharpOS Developers] Linking with native libraries (was TrueType Fonts)

[Bruce M. <ill...@gm...>]

Well, TrueType font support would be nice. But I think the whole point is to
do it all in a managed language. For the sanity of any developers on any of
the C# OS projects, I would suggest not diverging into running native code
right now.

For something like TrueType fonts - I think we will all need an
implementation native to us, that is, managed. For more complex applications
down the road, (Firefox, anyone?), maybe then - we can talk about VMing to
run native code or something. (But frankly, I think we need a C# web
browser, too.)

For now, I personally think running native code will cause more headaches
than it can solve.
