Hey Guys,<br>
<br>
On some of the bugs that i have reported to freedesktop, i have been
asked about why Wine is making calls like XDrawSegment<span
class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color:
rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal;
font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;
line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform:
none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;
font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span"
style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span></span>
and not using Cairo to handle the 2d drawing which always provides
consistent behavior regardless of drivers[1].<br>
<br>
I have also read that cairo support <span class="Apple-style-span"
style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant:
normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height:
normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none;
white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size:
medium;">"X Window System, Quartz, Win32, image buffers,
PostScript, PDF, and SVG file output. Experimental backends
include<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a
href="http://www.cairographics.org/OpenGL/"
style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(76, 76, 230);">OpenGL</a>,
XCB, BeOS, OS/2, and DirectFB</span>"[2]. So it will also works
with Wayland when this is ready :D.<br>
<br>
So i think this is a good way to make Wine more graphic driver
agnostic and improve the behavior on MacOS without having to write a
complete new driver just for Quartz.<br>
<br>
So i would like to know your thoughts, if Cairo could improve some
stuff or if is not related or useless to the project<br>
<br>
Greetings<br>
