Re: Tiny font workaound... maybe?

	Marco,

	I started looking into this, and abandoned it after about a day of
work.  The changes are just too significant and widespread.  You've got
to make some fundamental changes all across gtkextra2 if you want to
backport it gtk/gdk 1.x.  Another possible way is to change gdk 2.x to
not use pango, but this would also require widespread non-trivial
changes.  The conclusion I quickly came to is that, starting with the
2.0 versions of these packages, pango dependency is essentially a given.

	A different approach would be for you to use gtkextra1, which you can
still get out CVS, if it works for you.  Of course, that means you're
definitely back on gtk 1.x.

	After digging in for a while, I came to the conclusion that running
gnome-settings-daemon to sync things up between KDE and gnome was a lot
easier, even though it's a not-pretty hack.

Has anyone tried to draw a string onto a canvas using the gdk (older) primitives? for example gdk_draw_string()? If anyone has some ideas on implementing this until gnome fixes their problem it will be greately appreciated. I unfortunately can't depend on gnome for the project I'm developing and it's unfortunate that Pango is affected in such a way.
