Odonata is a little dormant at the moment, the past month (and a bit) have been particularly hectic for me and I haven't had much time to devote to its development. One thing you should bear in mind when thinking of Odonata is that it is a set of AWT *peers*. This means that it can only be used within a fully functional AWT implementation (such as that provided by GNU Classpath or Sun's class library). Odonata as it currently stands in my local svn tree is still far from complete, although some work has been done towards text input, it's not been a priority. The latest addition to Odonata was a new Font rendering framework using BDF 2.3 (1,2,4 and 8-bit bitmapped fonts) - the underlying parser is being integrated into JNode for things like console font rendering, as an alternative to TTF rendering. Work will continue on the main Odonata once I settle down a little more at my new workplace. Now if only I could find someplace that paid me to work on Odonata :) Best Regards, Steph -- ================================================================ Stephane Meslin-Weber Email: steph@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Senior Software Engineer Web: http://odonata.tangency.co.uk ================================================================ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
