But I'm not planning on ignoring the win32 side either.... having a good-performing win32 cairo implementation is essential to the success of 2.8, to the point where if necessary I'll spend time on it myself. I think mostly it just needs someone to sit down, sort out the various win32 backends, get the build infrastructure(s) into place, and say "this is the way that cairo should be for win32". > Or does the planned Cairo integration don't need any native > backend support? With a few modifications to Cairo, it might be possible to use the image backend with gdk_draw_pixbuf(), at the cost of being extremely slow. I don't think that's interesting. Regards, Owen
