It would be interesting to see the results.

In the latter case, is the ST library on the X client side? Are you then using the normal X protocol? The ST project certainly looks very promising. How's it going on the printing side? Did you get the ST API to print on Linux? Thanks, Erik _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
