I and Jordan Hubbard (jkh@violet.berkeley.edu) have been writing an X11
driver for Crispin Goswell's recently posted PostScript interpreter.
Right now, it's got 3 major problems which I intend to fix before I turn
it loose:
1) It does not deal intelligently (er, at all) with expose events.
2) Fonts smaller than ~90 points don't work.
3) BitBlit() doesn't work. (This affects the Image family of commands.)
A fourth problem is that greyscale does not work on monochrome monitors.
That'll be fixed when Jordan digs himself out from under uwm bugs.
Maybe. ("Dithering? Dithering? Isn't that a small town in the south
of England?" :-)
Of course, by the time I fix these problems, it'll be time to go
through and clean up the code, and design a decent set of fonts,
instead of the Hershey fonts it came with, and...... :-)
