the text item of libgnomecanvas has some tight linkage to the pango FT2 backend as a result of calling pango_ft2_get_context(). is there a technical reason that this was used rather than gdk_get_pango_context_for_screen()? as it, it makes it impossible to use the canvas when pango is not implemented with FT2 support (e.g. on the quartz-based gtk/osx port) --p _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
