------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 22 20:18:02 +0000 2008 ------- With the very crude patch above, I'm able for the first time to see text in the cairo canvas backend using Mac OS X / Quartz. A half-way solution would be to use, in cross-platform way, the "SalLayout" -based cairo text rendering, as already used by UNIX/X11 in vcl/unx/source/gdi/salgdi3.cxx --- particularly this function: void X11SalGraphics::DrawCairoAAFontString( const ServerFontLayout& rLayout ) The ultimate solution would be to get rid of as much of VCL and VirtualDevices as possible in cairocanvas backend, and use the available cross-platform cairo API instead: http://www.cairographics.org/manual/ The cairo API fully supports font rendering, but does not currently provide full support for text layout. Thus, for layout, parts of the VCL, or the native backends, would still need to be re-used. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
