I certainly cannot help here. I don't know Windows.

Currently I have not worked on porting the ps_device to use
QPainter. This would probably be the part that would have helped you
if you had choosen Qt as a toolkit.

I will update the wiki and nemo.mongueurs.net to keep people posted on
my progress. Anyway I am taking a somewhat circuitous path because I
indend to use Perl and PerlQt so as to eventually keep only the editor
window. Porting to Qt is not a end to me, just a mean.

Also, it seems that for licensing reasons, a non Qt port would be a
good thing. What library do you intend to use?
