This is not a bad idea, if the fonts (and font rendering) were built into
the engine then there would be no cross-platform font differences.

Sounds like your machine is most definitely infected with a virus, and not
just any virus, but that most virulent and heinous of virii - the windows
virus. The only cure for this is to install linux or better yet, freeBSD.

Well, actually I was talking about VPC for windows, since there is no

Wow, that's really strange, I tried it without your code to resize the

No, it is not neccessary to use a 216 color pallette to prevent this, you

Yes, but don't hard code the path like this, or it will fail on about 90
This behavior is not unique to Windows XP or Metacard, it works like this in
Windows 2000 as well, and for all apps that use standard file dialogs. I

What problem?
82.845 rounded to 2 decimal places should round to 82.84
Whereas, 82.835 would also round to 82.84
The rule is whenever you have a perfect half (i.e. the last significant
digit is a 5) and you are rounding to the next digit, then you should round
to the nearest even number. That w

I have some transparent png's on several cards, and sometimes they show up
