[mcclim-devel] freetype-cffi sorta works

[Robert P. Goldman]

I have the CFFI translation of freetype working at least a little (on ACL).
I am certainly NOT confident enough in it to say it ought to replace the 
old one!  But I would like to share the work, and I would like to see it 
out there on common-lisp.net for people to examine and critique.
Here's what I have done:  I have created shadows of all the original 
files.  So I have freetype-fonts-cffi.lisp, freetype-cffi.lisp, 
freetype-package-cffi.lisp and mcclim-freetype-cffi.asd.
I would like to check these into the CVS, since they will not break the 
existing mcclim-freetype.  If you'd like to test the CFFI version, just 
symlink <asdf-system-dir>/mcclim-freetype.asd to 
mcclim-freetype-cffi.asd, then load as per the instructions for ordinary 
mcclim-freetype.asd.

Please let me know if this for some reason would be a bad thing. 
Otherwise I will make the commit in about 4-6 hours.

Thanks!
