Folks -

I just realized that BitBlt>>primDisplayString no longer updates BitBlt's destX var. I'm not sure when or why this was changed but it explains some of the strangeness that has been noticed with m17n font display recently (some glyphs are just printed on top of each other).

I would like to fix this ASAP since to me that's a critical piece of code and uncommenting the primitive is painfully slow.

Any ideas what was changed and why?

The most recent change to #primitiveDisplayString is stamped 5/31/2008 by 'dtl', which certainly looks suspicious on the face of it, but the change is minor and unrelated to destX. The prior version is from 4/3/2005, so any functional change has probably been in the primitive for a number of years.
