SourceForge project descriptions changed

If you're like me, you probably don't pay much attention to a
SourceForge project's description after the first couple of times that
you see it.

However, the xmlroff and PangoPDF project descriptions do change from
time to time.  FYI, both descriptions changed recently because xmlroff
now uses both PangoPDF and Pango rather than having to use PangoPDF
*instead* of Pango.

xmlroff
=======

xmlroff is an XSL Formatter written in C. It produces PDF or
PostScript output using GNOME Print. xmlroff uses Pango (and,
currently, PangoPDF) to lay out the text. xmlroff was initiated as an
Open Source project by Sun Microsystems.


PangoPDF
========

PangoPDF implements several of the inline properties defined by XSL
that are not currently implemented by Pango. PangoPDF used to attempt
to do more (hence its name), but no longer needs to thanks to recent
changes in both Pango and GNOME Print.


Regards,


Tony.
