+1 against ugly fonts!
We use FreeType because of licensing around the fonts our clients want to use. Up to them to supply the fonts (so needs to be dynamic based upon the "user"'s pc/device).
It is good we have choices in font approaches. Could do with a thorough refactoring now though (on an inclusive basis).
Regards, Gary.

Did I ever tell I did a very small change set that allows 32 bpp StrikeFonts, and a set of free subpixel rendered fonts? Works on any platform without any new plugin. It is what you need for this to look really great (if you are not using FreeType). It is at http://www.jvuletich.org/NiceFonts.html .
I can understand people not using it because they prefer FreeType. But I can't understand how can somebody prefer those ugly fonts...

For those that don't have the time to load the code, here is a screenshot (sorry for the additional traffic, but since there was no other response to this mail, I think it's appropriate ;) )

One thing I noticed is that in the text panes, for selected code the keyboard shortcuts do not work and the usual context menu is missing.

BTW: I still have a problem loading or updating to versions beyond Pinesoft-Widgets-gvc.301.mcz (even if there are no windows opened when loading, which we do using MC config maps). I get an emergency debugger from which the image cannot recover.
