- Erm...the comments seem to have tailed off a bit so I take it most
- people who want to have had their say...I'll look thru all the
- comments and post a revised format soonish.
-
- One thing that had occured to me was that it would be nice to
- have two GLS_WIND type chunks - one for System font templates,
- and one for Anti-aliased fonts...perhaps a GLS_WINF for the fancy
- font chunk? Obviously you'd tell the module which one to load
- when you do a Glass_Load or whatever so they're not soaking up
- memory if not used...
- I think this would be useful, as more programs seem to be offering
- the choice of anti-aliased fonts in templates...any comments? Are
- 2 chunks enough? Should we make it n chunks for extensibility?
-
- You can't really just change the icons so they use System
- font/Fancy fonts from the one template set, as fancy ones usually
- need a bit of tweaking to look right.
-
- Cheers,
- Tim
