Does Fribidi use any FSF code besides the simple Glib stuff (linked list, a few types etc.)? I was under the impression that Dov Grobgeld wrote all the bidi algorithm stuff from scratch (what GPL project could he take it from?), and that you guys were making efforts to get rid of Glib dependence in Fribidi anyway... In any case, I think there should be no problem for xterm to use an external fribidi library (and discover it with autoconf) if it is already installed. On Linux, for example, xterm is obviously linked with the LGPL glibc. So why not with fribidi? -- Nadav Har'El | Sunday, Feb 24 2002, 12 Adar 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Wear short sleeves!
