One other reason was that I wrote a "meta-driver" for LCD-proc 0.5 using your graphlcd-base library, just like yo're using serdisplib to add a few more supported displays by just one more driver, and I also sent you 2 or 3 private emails around 17-18 january and I got no response at all. At that time I had not yet started the freetype2 digging. Anyway, it doesn't matter now. If you're interested I will rework my modifications to fit the new version and send you the patches. I still had some trouble with the layounting of FT2 fonts on the VDR plugin's display (mine is 128x64), but as it is still "pre5" you might want us to discuss those things after I'll send the patches? What do you think? What do other users think, would there be interest for my work, too? Kind regards, Lucian Muresan
