- 1. Is it possible to modify TeX so, that it uses the Risc OS
- outline fonts ? I want to be able to convert a TeX file to
- something readable without needing the whole TeX font set as
- it takes up lots of space.
-
- 2. When using Wimp_GetWindowInfo to read a window block, you also get
- 32 bytes for each icon the window contains. How do you know how
- many icons a window contains ? Note : You can't use the word at location
- 84 in the window definition, because when you read that word using
- Wimp_GetWindowInfo you also get the icon blocks ! And you do not know
- the size of the block of memory to allocate... :-(
-
- 3. When I use Wimp_GetIconState to read icon data, I can also read icon
- data of non-existing icons. Why isn't an error generated ? It would be
- nice if the flags would be updated when using XWimp_GetIconState...
-
- 4. Has anyone noticed this "bug" in the Morley SCSIFS :
- When clicking on the iconbar icon the root filer window is opened as
- usual, but as a side-effect, the current directory is reset to the root.
- This is very annoying, in particular when running a Task Window which
- is processing files without full pathnames.
-
- Morley claims that the drive must be mounted each time the user clicks
- on the iconbar. But ADFS doesn't mount the disc...
- Can anyone shed some light on this. Is the behaviour of the Morley card
- normal ?
-
- 5. Does anyone know how to write an international keyboardhandler ?
