The GdkPixbuf scaling code, for example, goes through a lot more effort to obtain a better result than that. > - color selector looks... strange: > http://fynl.free.fr/vrac/mypaint/MyPaint_OSX.jpeg I don't have any idea what's happening there. > What the actual status of this port? Will OSX be a supported target in > next gtk version? I can't really comment on GTK+ plans, but I would imagine a pre-requisite here is for cairo to have an officially supported cairo-quartz backend. Vladimir Vukicevic has been doing a lot of work on that with a full rewrite of cairo-quartz during the 1.3.x series that's been named cairo-nquartz. He's renaming that to cairo-quartz now to land just in time for the upcoming 1.4.0 release. He's also been running it through cairo's test suite, (success there is required before cairo calls the backend officially supported). I think there are just a handful of issues left at this point. If anyone wants to help test/improve cairo-quartz, that would be great. -Carl
