In that case back-art...

So 45 degree text should work then. Thats excellent. The patchs o
make the X11 backend do txt were retype based as well if I remember
correctly.

*blink* again, hts interesting - because my comment "it doesnt do 2/2/2" is
based upon going to the libart site and looking at the image formats
they support. At the time (which was fairly recently) it said 8 bit RGB.
Which is a long-winded ay of saying "I didnt actually try it" :-)
So, looks like I am going to have to give back-art a shot hen. Are
here any thins that it doesnt do better than the default X11 backend ?
If the ansrs 'no' then why are we maintaining two backends at all ?
-bat.
