Hey Guys,

On some of the bugs that i have reported to freedesktop, i have been asked about why Wine is making calls like XDrawSegment and not using Cairo to handle the 2d drawing which always provides consistent behavior regardless of drivers[1].

I have also read that cairo support "X Window System, Quartz, Win32, image buffers, PostScript, PDF, and SVG file output. Experimental backends include OpenGL, XCB, BeOS, OS/2, and DirectFB"[2]. So it will also works with Wayland when this is ready :D.

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.

So i would like to know your thoughts, if Cairo could improve some stuff or if is not related or useless to the project

Greetings

Jaime Rave
