Greetings everybody! I just found out that gtkglext-1.0.6 doesn't link if used alongside gtk +-2.8.x (e.g. all versions of Gnome > 2.10 use it). It is all due to these calls: pango_x_font_cache_load() pango_x_font_cache_unload() pango_x_find_first_subfont() pango_x_font_subfont_xlfd() pango_x_font_map_get_font_cache() pango_x_font_map_for_display() used in file: gtkglext-1.0.6/gdk/x11/gdkglfont-x11.c Those calls are already marked as "deprecated" in the API-manuals of gtk+-2.6.x (e.g. utilized in Gnome 2.10.x) because they all belong to the "Deprecated X font backend". In gtk+-2.8.x they were obviously removed. A quick (and very hackish) fix is to just comment those calls, but that's of course no proper solution. Is there anybody who patched this already or is working to do so? Sadly the CVS-repository of gtkglext hasn't seen any activity in the last 21 months. I have some code in place that might act as a starting point for an updated font-rending in gtkglext. Take a look at the supplied screenshot in the attachment. At the moment it offers the use of pango's markup, unicode, use of truetype fonts, font-coloring via glColor3/4f() and affine transformations (the text is rendered into a texture). Best regards...
