I have libgnomeprint 2.2.1.2 on one machine and 2.3.0 on another.

I have only just started trying to get xmlroff working with Pango (or
PangoPDF) 1.5.1 and libgnomeprint 2.7.1.  Pango 1.5.1 compiled okay,
but libgnomeprint has a dependency that I didn't expect for a Perl XML
module, so I have to dig that out of the JDS distribution.

I started my usual routine of updating PangoPDF to match the current
Pango version, but there's so many differences that that now seems the
wrong approach.  I'm now going to start with the current xmlroff and a
copy of the current Pango and make the minimum changes necessary to
make them work with each other.  In the short term, that may mean that
some of the XSL inline properties go away for a while.  We'll see.

Regards,


Tony.
