First, sorry for the blank mail I accidentally sent earlier... my bad.<br><br>Ok, so I have been assigned bug 50 [1] here at my job, and I'm trying to apply the patch [2] Keith Dunwoody proposed in June 2005, which fixed the issue but was rejected for technical reasons.
<br><br>Right now I can't think of another way around that bug except a patch that big, but I think we could break it into two smaller ones: the first one would change what must be changed for the second one ¯ the actual correction ¯ to work. Well, that first one involves changing the signatures of the ExtTextOut functions in 
winex11.drv, in a similar fashion to what Keith had proposed; but, instead of adding 'INT *breakTotalExtra, INT *breakCount' to their argument lists, I suggest that we pass them the whole DC instead of just its physDev ¯ that way we'd have access to the relevant attributes while still being able to get its physDev (assigning it to a variable right at the beginning of the functions, in order to keep their current functionality in this first step). I'm only afraid that may bring a little overhead, so I'd really like to see some opinions, or some better ideas...

</a><br><br>I'll be testing that here, anyway.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Pedro.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>&quot;People think computers will keep them from making mistakes. They're wrong. With computers you make mistakes faster.&quot;
