<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Felix,<BR>
<BR>
I submitted a patch a little while ago that upgraded quartztext to<BR>
CoreText and should fix the second of the issues you mention below. It<BR>
didn't centralise the common code (with freetype) in a separate header<BR>
file, as Fenrir pointed out, but neither, I think does the current<BR>
quartztext module. Updating to CoreText allowed me to simplify a lot of<BR>
the parameter passing, so a number of functions actually have less<BR>
similarity to the freetype ones now, though, anyway.<BR>
I can't realistically support vlc any more, and haven't been able to for<BR>
some time. With all your work for a 64bit port I felt responsible for<BR>
having written one of the most 32-bit biased modules in the code,<BR>
quartztext and thought I should at least update it.<BR>
I can understand and accept if there are reasons for not wanting to use<BR>
the new module, or not finding the code up to scratch. I'm only<BR>
mentioning it in case you hadn't been aware of the original mail, which<BR>
got stuck on my outgoing mail server for a few days and then came<BR>
through to the list a few days in the past. DJ did take a brief look at<BR>
it at the time and said it worked for him, but his and Fenrir's were the<BR>
only comments it generated.<BR>
