Software News   Software News : OWB 2.9 released with Cairo support
   posted by Giovanni on 15-Sep-2008 9:52:05 (6335 reads)
A new version of OWB has been released by Jörg on his web site. One of the biggest changes is no doubt the support for OS 4.1 Cairo library for rendering instead of SDL, which enables among other things SVG support in OWB.

Read more...


Furthermore version 2.9 has been merged with the SVN revision 486. It requires Amiga OS 4.1 now.

Grab it from here (Jörg's site)

Or here (OS4 depot).

Geat!

But I have a font problem. Some pages are rendered ridiculously tall and IIRC that is because OWB can't use a TTF font as it is but will use the Amiga install of it, and if it is installed to look good on Amiga, it will become useless in OWB.

I have tried to get it to use the Bitstream Cyberbit font (which is default installed and look bad on Amiga but good in OWB) but it seems to use another font anyway.

I won't reinstall any of the system fonts such as Bitstream Sans, or Arial in default mode because I use them in the Amiga system and then they will look bad.

Please help!?

I have also downloaded it

It works fast... but still missing a feature which was on v. 1.24 or v 1.25 (included in OS4.1) : file downloading...

I know I often talk about that but it is important. Actually I'm juggling between v 1.25 and v. 2.9...
