I must admit, that I do no tunderstand, why a basic GUI toolkit is 
required to be able to to TrueType and Type1 font processing. We are 
not building a word processor. Alltougl I am very much in favour of 
GTK+, I really do not like the way, millions of dependancies creep in.

The latest example is X11R6.8.1's libXaw, which is dependend on libXp, 
even if the applications do not use the X printing system. This 
obviously is not only a problem of GTK+.

73, Mario
