Pango and OSX 10.4




I maintain a build framework for GTK+-2 on OSX which uses Quartz, rather than X11, as the display engine. (More info at http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net ) This is possible in part due to the excellent work of the pango team.

A recent change to Pango, 01783de926a09dd8a3b11699bc8b1a6b6dce0556, replaced ATS with CoreText. While this is necessary for x86_64 compilation (ATS is Carbon and so only 32-bit compatible), it isn't backward-compatible with 10.4 (CoreText was introduced in 10.5). Since there are still a lot of Tiger users out there, it seems a bit premature to cut them off. Is this an intended consequence?

Regards,
John Ralls
