Hello,
I've some spare-time left so maybe I find some time to implement the
most used software-fallbacks using XRender. There has been significant
progress when it comes to XRender. With the EXA framework a few
open-source drivers will soon be capable of accalerating fancy things,
and nvidia has e

Well I would welcome a Cairo-Java2D implementation, although I don't
see many benefits. However choice is never a bad idea if its offe

I agree to some degree - and if I would have to write java from
scratch I would immediatly choose cairo a
Hi Dan,
this new bug, 6599351, seems to be about the same issue, isn't it?
It should be fixed in several releases, as I understand.
Now let's decide: if you will create a patch for your bug then I'll not
work on my, otherwise I'll start but not very fast, either. Anyway,
after your patch is re
Hi Yuri, Dmitri

time tomorrow morning to read through the other bug reports properly and
give you a proper reply.
Cheers

OpenJDK, at least not as a complete Java2D implementation. Not that it
cant work, Classpath did just that quite successfully. But OpenJDK
already has a huge amount of a 2D stack implemented that they've
developed over many years in
