Xc/Xr - A postscript rendering library for the RENDER extension | replacing Xlib drawing routines. Note that Xc/Xr offers "PostScript-like API" which can be used to render not only PostScript primitives, but SVG elements as wel. And, even further: Xr/Xc can be a foundation to bring up PDF rendering and PDF export capabilities to XFree86. Discussions about Xr/Xc/XSVG happen on <[email protected]> mailing list. It seems awareness about those libs is still quite low. Taking into consideration attention to XFree86 Forum list, caused by possibility of XFree86 fork, I'd like to invite core & "non-core" XFree86 developers to subscribe to that XSVG/Xr/Xc list at: <http://xsvg.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xsvg> | | 10.
