Re: So, what next?

In fact, that's one of the things on my to-look-at list.  That leads
into the "what stacks are in use" question.  Xft2 (at a glance) has
been around for ~15 years now.  Almost all of the X apps on my system
depend on it; even xterm has been using it unconditionally at least
since 2004 (I can't be bothered looking further back).  Could there be
systems we should care about lacking it?

That would make an excellent "get your feet wet" project for somebody;
it involves a little ctwm and a little X, but is otherwise isolated
and free from larger architectural issues.  If someone wants to tackle
it, that would give me an excuse to bump "start putting together a dev
manual" up the list, with a section on adding functions.
