(...) Hmmm, interesting. txt2dat is currently compiled against 2.1.9, I haven't tried upgrading since txt2dat is the only thing I use it for. But the API doc at the freetype site still documents (URL) FTOrientation API>. Also, version 2.3.1 (which I (...) (19 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Hi Ross, It works! I just built it by hand, so I'll write a simple makefile for it tomorrow. Only issue is that the version of Freetype 2 that comes with OS X doesn't seem to know about FTOrientation, so I just ifdeffed out the few bits that (...)

Man, I just realized that my old (URL) MPD Utility> is still listed on LDraw.org. Frankly, I don't think there's still a need for it, and I wouldn't really trust it to "do the right thing" with any given MPD. It was sort of cobbled together as a (...)

(...) Sure, but as I said, you can't be 100% certain that the contents of the standard LDraw directory are all official and vice versa, so the best way to manage them (in my opinion) is lump them all together, and have a program that helps you (...)

It's me the user that wants to know which unofficial parts I've downloaded and am using, and thus which may require updating, deleting, or something. For me it is purely a user-management issue. My program doesn't really care if a part is Official (...) (19 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Well the other thing to consider is that with the adoption of the standard header on DAT files, there really is no *need* to store unofficial files in a different sub-directory, because programs will be able to tell which files are unofficial (...)

I've tried a little (without success) to get QT4 to build as a universal static library. If I get that working, I'll see if I can't work out the QT4-specific bugs. While the border and extra space on top aren't good in the QT4 version, the overall (...) (19 years ago, 1-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

Just an update on my LDView tinkering. I got Qt 3.3.7 compiled and used it to rebuild the current LDView 3.2 code. As predicted in the other LDView thread, using Qt 3.3.7 instead of Qt 4.2.2 resolved some of the issues I'd observed, most notably the (...) (19 years ago, 1-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
