gnustep-back-0.9.4 art backend doesn't compile against freetype
>=2.1.8.
As I didn't want to downgrade I tried to adapt it to the latest
freetype API.
I stopped working on it as soon as it compiled in the night at 4, so
it's probably buggy.
So far it seem okay. No crashes at least. All my fonts get listed. But
changing the font
prefs in GNUMail.app has no effect. It will just keep on using
helvetica bitmaps.
I've only tried GNUstep shortly 2 years ago. And now wanted to have
another look.
So I don't really know what I'm doing nor how GNUstep with the
arts-backend is supposed to look like.
But it runs and I can play with the environment.
Probably you have been hacking on that on CVS already and my efforts
are redundant.
But I'm inpatient.
If you want something to get done, do it yourself :)
