Mac OS X native port : font server works
A little screenshot to show the ATS font server works basically with svdem (svtools).
As you can see, we use the awfull grey/blue. The reason is we don't use DTIntegrator nor Appearance manager. This will be implemented later.
Thank's to Stephan Schaefer for the changes and the screenshot.

Mac OS X native port : some screenshots of svdem (svtools)
Many thank's to Stephane Schaefer who recently fixed an issue with svdem ( the one from svtools ). Testing the last code, looks like it works better !
svdem is a toy used to test all features, progressively implemented on native Mac OS X port. In the following screenshots, font rendering is not implemented, excepted in the title bar.
By curiosity, I just clicked on some buttons, and some parts are even working !
In the first screenshot we can open a (not implemented) window asking for printing (click the image to enlarge).
The second one implements something recent in svdem : a calendar including a lot of options, but hmm .. we have to implement fonts before to be sure :-) (click the image to enlarge)
The last one is a printing configuration box (click the image to enlarge) :
Of course, there is still a lot of work, and if you have a Mac, C++ and Carbon knowledge, don't hesitate to join us : you're welcome !Contact : mac@porting mailing list or ericb at openoffice dot org
OpenOffice.org on WWDC : canceled
Bad news,
Mac porting project has not enough money for the travel, so we simply can't go on WWDC.
We need at least 2000 euros, and we only can use 500.
I'm sincerily sorry for the students invited (I was too), and I wan't to say thank you to all the people who sent money to help us. This is not lost, and we will soon use it.
