i'll look at it, but to know how i could find something similar to XImage.

i've tried to draw during the expose event (xcbpolytext8 then xcbcopyarea
then xcbsync).

nobody has tried to fix this simple program ? Where could be the error ?
in the gc ?
I query the font and put the result in fontrep, but i don't use it after
(i try to do like i would do in Xlib, and one queries the font, so...)
Maybe it's that (i don't know the internal of xcb).

Jamey, if you're interested in the tutorial, i could give you a improved
version of it.
