Title: fltk with xft support
Post by: emninger on December 25, 2015, 11:30:43 AM

Is it possible to compile fltk-1.3 with xft support. And, may be, as well the applications relying directly on it (like dillo, editor & cie)?

PS. I tried it on my own creating "myfltk-1.3.3.tcz" but that did not change anything in the appearance (and i got the advice that i would have to compile the apps using it too, which is beyond my capabilities ;) ).

It's not enabled to keep the TinyCore size down. Any xft version would need all separate apps then too.

Hi curaga! I understand that pretty well. Nevertheless, would be nice, if ... ;) I'm running tcl on a netbook. It is still very limited in size. does not consume so much space on the internal ssd flash as well. But  a nicer appearance would be highly welcome.

then why don't you just replace the fltk basis apps with whatever hipster wm you find appealing?
in tc design follows function.
