The best I can suggest is to upgrade your Pango version. 1.2.5 is way too old to talk about performance-wise. Try with at least 1.8.x, and preferably even more recent, like 1.14.x! -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Commandment Three says Do Not Kill, Amendment Two says Blood Will Spill" -- Dan Bern, "New American Language" _______________________________________________ gtk-i18n-list mailing list gtk-i18n-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-i18n-list
