Re: [gtk-list] Freetype and G[TD]K

["Iain" <nodatadj webtribe net>]

I don't know if this is any closer to fixing it, but if I make a GdkImage
out of the bitmap field, and then call gtk_image_new (gdkim, NULL); I get a
black square of the correct size, and if I put a GdkBitmap created from
gtk_pixmap_new (NULL, width, height, 1) as the second parameter, I get
random guff in the window (probably because I didn't clear the bitmap, as
when I tried gdk_window_clear, it gave a BadWindow error)
