I've just completed my work on this and the cairo driver now uses this alternate approach to text handling. I left in the old text handling path for the time being and you can switch the driver back to the old text handling path by setting pls->alt_unicode = 0 in the stream_and_font_setup function. Maybe this will make writing drivers easier? At least they won't all contain the same while loop now :). best, -Hazen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
