Hi folks. Looks like the current texfont is a bit broken right now. I believe it's the introduction of the "if ($IsWin32) " block: the pragma "use Win32::API" doesn't seem to work within the conditional block. Furthermore, I'm not sure the else block that follows comes to a sane ending, so I was unsure of the fix. I take it the change was to address embedded spaces on windows systems? I'm all in favour of tying up loose x-platform ends (esp those I may have left in my wake), but I think there's been a step backwards.

That still didn't work, but it was a lot clearer to figure out what to do. So with a little help from the Camel book, I figured out how to wrap the conditional 'use' in a way that works (well, compiles) on my (non-Win32) system at least: my $IsWin32; BEGIN { $IsWin32 = ($^O =~ /MSWin32/i); if ($IsWin32) { require Win32::API; import Win32::API; } } I'm sure there are Perl wizards out there who know how to do this sort of thing much more elegantly. Cheers, adam Next up: how to use this to steal the Lucida fonts from Java on Mac OS X... Hans Hagen said this at Wed, 24 Sep 2003 17:17:08 +0200:
