Ah, this sounds intreguing....how is this done on UNIX systems? Does it leveredge the various TrueType font servers out there or does it rasterize the fonts some other way? I use xttfs all the time and it works quite well for any X application I've tried...love that Comic font under netscape!
I know that XFree86 4.0 is going to have 'native' support for TrueTupe as well, whenever it appears.
- Playing with MacroMedia Flash files Flash is a vector graphics package designed for vector graphics content delivery over the internet. Many sites use this to enhance their web pages and it's a lot of fun to play with. If you have
access to any .SWF files just open them from the file list. [Note: The integration into Scamper didn't make it for the beta. It will be in the final 2.3 and I'll post a couple of links for you to play with].
Wow! This is excellent! Is the Flash code derived from the freeware flash plugin for Netscape? It's been quite a week! Macromedia even released an official beta flash plugin for Linux too! :)
I think that are the biggest changes in 2.3 beta [Dan - did I miss anything important?!]
