Hi,
I've noticed that there a request for GRX maintainers, and my name has been mentioned. Well, that would certainly please me, but right now it's absolutely impossible. - My schedule is so tight that I simply haven't free time, and I'd like to see my two kids from time to time :-) - I'm using GRX for an embedded product, and my development tools and hardware platform are so specific that I can't imagine how could I manage with the different configurations supported by GRX. (By the way, Hartmut, how do you do this?)
All I can do for the moment is, for every bug I found (there are not many) try to track it down, and send the patch.
On the other hand, I hope to release the product in about two months. Then the situation can change.

Off topic: I need a Chinese font for GRX. Can anybody give me a clue? Thanks

I ran into font converter that is is 2 stage ttf->bdf->fon, would that help? I have converted arial.ttf for use with GRX and it works fine. It is GPL. I can't remember where I got it from but I can zip it up and send it to anyone who wants. Just send me an email.
Cheers Richard
About the chinese Font: Try my conversion Tool for Truetype to GRX-Font at http://home.nahesurf.de/herbert.reichardt/index.htm You can use a subset of the cyberbit.ttf Font (formerly free Font from Bitstream, don't know the url right now), it contains all chinese characters and many more. GRX works with 16 bit encoded fonts, but may be you end up with a really big font of some MBytes, because the GRX Font Format is not optimized for memory space. I'm considerung another Fontformat (for an embedded project) but it's not finished yet, because for another format is a heavy rewrite of all text/Font Routines of GRX necessary.

Well, I used to work at university of Kiel and had several machines I could use.
A PC with DOS/Linux should be ok for development using DJGPP and X11.

Well, would be fine !
