Mac Porting
Date: 28/2/2007
So I eventually found this little bit of code on the Apple site that shows how to initialize an ATSUI font style with the parameters from a theme font, which is exactly what I wanted to do with fonts inside LGI. My apps now render their text like a native MacOSX app, which is just great.

Also I've fixed enough things in the mail2 backend code that Scribe now loads my main mail folder file (abeit a read-only copy) on my PPC machine. This involved lots of byte swapping.

Current issues are:
  • The list control is not painting anything at all.
  • The scrollbars become blank greyness after resizing a window.
  • Grabbing a splitter and resizing it moves the split to the wrong location. Something to do with co-ordinates and mouse capture.


A triple platform release this month is looking unlikely. Primarily because I'm (again) suffering for chronic RSI and need to take things slowly so that I can recover. But the linux build is pretty close to done, the windows build is still waiting for a focus issue fix and well the mac port is well.... painting its fonts nicely!
