hmm really?I well...I never even thought to try that! I will look into it....tho yea
thats probably
going to turn out to be an upstream issue....
The source code for xfstt is not...um...heavilly commented (im being polite :)
when I showed the code to a co-worker he noted the lack of comments and asked
if the author was russian)
In fact I added a signal handler to the program as part of the code to handle making
a pid file (so it will start on startup easily et al)...I think between 20 lines of
code or so,
I have as amny comments as the whole rest of the file -I try to comment liberally
but not too much)
in any case...I will look into it...I never even thought to try using a truetype
font for fixed
text...it seems kind of twisted to me (sort of "Why would you wanna go there?")
