Mac Fonts
Date: 15/10/2009
This morning I fixed the issue that has been blocking Mac development for the last 'n' months. Finally the fonts are looking correct and I can get on with other things. Also the advent of valgrind on Mac might make it my preferred platform for dev work. If only the debugger was a bit faster. At least I think the Mac port of Scribe will get a lot more in the way of releases in the coming months, and will definitely by available on v2.00 launch day.

As for the current Linux build, it does work. But it limps along in Ubuntu 8/9 with a host of issues since the rewrite to XCB/Cairo. Drawing is very slow, crashes often, d'n'd is broken, menus have borders when they shouldn't, dialogs can get lost behind their parent window etc etc. *sigh* However on a good note, the current Ubuntu 9 release runs it without having to recompile any of the libraries, unlike Ubuntu 8 where you need to compile support for Cairo into XCB (or something).

Please put more effort into the linux build. Scribe is excellent but it's a shame I haven't been able to use it since I migrated to linux. Tried a thousand times but scribe always freezes on linux distros!
