The rendering code for OOo is a nightmare! I have a feeling that
XFree86's next version has revisited the whole text rendering problem.

Lovely idea. Only problem is that the Quark file format is not easy to
figure out (from memory). While the text is simple to dig out, the
formatting isn't.

Don't see why they shouldn't already. Open source is *the* way forward.
If dolts the size of governments can see through the crap M$ put their
way, big business will follow. Currently, the biggest reason for folks
not swapping to the far superior OOo is down to it not having the work
"Microsoft" infront of it - sad but true.

TTFN

Then why not come over from the darkside, and become one of the ever
