Lars,
when I attempt to display a text with the following (latin9) string:
test avec des ¤ et des à et des è
et des ö
I get the PNG attached here (I added the bounding boxes; it looks like it's
too big). Also, the cursor is behaving strangely, it seems that for each
non-ASCII character, two characters are counted. This certainly hints me
towards a problem with UTF-8 handling...
(when building without --enable-freetype, the text is perfect. The EPS file
also shows that the font is correctly downloaded, although it lacks the euro
symbol -- which is a problem in that font, not in your code. The space for
that symbol is properly accounted for.
The EPS file is in http://www.chepelov.org/cyrille/dia )
Still not done the StringPrerenderer cleanup.
