We've cut off XP and Vista at 5.4, and now have HarfBuzz in place, so going forward couldn't/shouldn't we move to a more complete implementation of DirectWrite/D2D? And wouldn't that also give us better foundation for OpenGL support? IIUC Win7 might require some hacking, but 8, 8.1 and 10+ are going to behave better for the Windows builds.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
