about libXaw3dxft-1.6.2
-----------------------

This is a newer version which should be entirely source compatible with the
current development versions of libXaw3d-1.6.2 and provides additionally
support for freetype and UTF8 encoding (as did earlier versions
of libxaw3dxft <= 1.3.3). 

To get the best features, it is recommended to use
  ./configure --enable-internationalization --enable-arrow-scrollbars 
              [--prefix=/usr] 

The main parameter to be set is xaw3dxft_data->encoding. By default
   xaw3dxft_data->encoding = 0
and in this case libXaw3dxft-1.6.2 just behaves as plain libXaw3d. Freetype
support is enabled when xaw3dxft_data->encoding != 0, and UTF8 corresponds to
xaw3dxft_data->encoding = -1

Other specific parameters (and their default values) are defined by the
Xaw3dXftData structure.

typedef struct _Xaw3dXftData {
    char encoding;
    char string_hilight;
    char text_bg_hilight;
    char string_use_pixmap;
    char menu_spacing;
    char show_tips;
    char tip_do_grab;
    char border_hack;
    char no_hilit_reverse;
    char button_inverse;
    char button_dashed;
    char multi_column_menu;
    char edit_delete_alternative;    
    unsigned short insensitive_twist[4];
    Xaw3dXftProc * proc;
    Pixel tip_background_color;
    Pixel text_bg_hilight_color;
    Pixel text_fg_alternate_color;
    char * hilit_color;
    char * default_fontname;
    XftFont * default_font;
} Xaw3dXftData;

It can be used typically with the following header file
#include <X11/Xaw3dxft/Xaw3dXft.h>

and by introducing e.g.

Xaw3dXftData *xaw3dxft_data = NULL;
Xaw3dXftProc *xaw3dxft_proc = NULL;

These structures can be initialized with the macro

    GET_XAW3DXFT_DATA(xaw3dxft_data);

After this, one can for instance set

    if (xaw3dxft_data) {
        xaw3dxft_data->encoding = -1;        /* use UTF8 encoding */
        xaw3dxft_data->string_hilight = 0;   /* don't highlight ! */
        xaw3dxft_data->string_use_pixmap = 0;/* 1 might avoid flickering */
        xaw3dxft_data->no_hilit_reverse = 1; /* use instead different color */
        xaw3dxft_data->button_inverse = 0;   /* 1 is retro style */ 
        xaw3dxft_data->button_dashed = 1;    /* 1 is prettier in my opinion */
        xaw3dxft_data->show_tips = 1;        /* 1 enables tooltips */
	xaw3dxft_data->tip_background_color = pixel;  /* yellow color ? */
        xaw3dxft_data->text_bg_hilight = 1;  /* highlight via background */
        xaw3dxft_data->text_bg_hilight_color = 0x333300;
	xaw3dxft_data->menu_spacing = 3;     /* extra spacing (# pixels) */
	xaw3dxft_data->edit_delete_alternative = 1; /* modern editing style */
        xaw3dxft_data->multi_colum_menu = 0;  /* 1 would enable horizontal
	                                           display of menus */
	...
    }



Default values are :

    xaw3dxft_data->encoding  = 0; 
    xaw3dxft_data->string_hilight  = 0;
    xaw3dxft_data->text_bg_hilight  = 0;
    xaw3dxft_data->string_use_pixmap  = 0;
    xaw3dxft_data->menu_spacing  = 1;
    xaw3dxft_data->show_tips  = 1;
    xaw3dxft_data->tip_do_grab  = 1;
    xaw3dxft_data->border_hack  = 1;
    xaw3dxft_data->no_hilit_reverse  = 0;
    xaw3dxft_data->button_inverse  = 1;
    xaw3dxft_data->button_dashed  = 0;
    xaw3dxft_data->multi_column_menu  = 0;
    xaw3dxft_data->edit_delete_alternative  = 0;    
    memset(xaw3dxft_data->insensitive_twist, 0, 4);
    xaw3dxft_data->text_bg_hilight_color  = -1;
    xaw3dxft_data->tip_background_color  = -1;
    xaw3dxft_data->text_fg_alternate_color  = -1;
    xaw3dxft_data->hilit_color  = NULL;
    xaw3dxft_data->default_fontname  = NULL;
    xaw3dxft_data->default_font  = NULL;
    
    xaw3dxft_proc = xaw3dxft_data->proc;
    xaw3dxft_proc->set_default_hilit_color = Xaw3dXftSetDefaultHilitColor;
    xaw3dxft_proc->set_hilit_color = Xaw3dXftSetHilitColor;
    xaw3dxft_proc->set_default_fontname = Xaw3dXftSetDefaultFontName;
    xaw3dxft_proc->set_insensitive_twist = Xaw3dXftSetInsensitiveTwist;
    xaw3dxft_proc->get_font = Xaw3dXftGetFont;
    xaw3dxft_proc->text_width = Xaw3dXftTextWidth;
    xaw3dxft_proc->draw_string = Xaw3dXftDrawString;
    xaw3dxft_proc->get_scrollbar =  Xaw3dXftGetScrollbar;
    xaw3dxft_proc->handle_mousewheel = Xaw3dXftHandleMouseWheel;
    xaw3dxft_proc->set_mousewheel_handler = Xaw3dXftSetMouseWheelHandler;
    xaw3dxft_proc->set_mousewheel_steps = Xaw3dXftSetMouseWheelSteps;

about libxaw3dxft-1.3.3
-----------------------

This is an updated version of the libxaw3dxft library, compatible with
xpaint-2.9.9 (which no longer includes libxaw3dxft).

It includes autoconf scripts rather than the older Imakefile build script - 
thanks to David Flater for providing these.

The latest version libxaw3dxft-1.3.3 corrects some minor issues with
font resources. The X core font mechanism should now be superseded in
all circumstances by the freetype library. When compiled with libxaw3dxft,
fonts can be set :

- via the char *Xaw3dXftDefaultFontName parameter (global setting)
- via the Xaw3dXftSetDefaultFontName(char *name) routine (global setting)
- via a -xrm "*<widget,class>*XftFont: fontname" command line specification 
  (any widget type or class type name can be specified)
- via a XtVaSetValues(widget, XtNxftFont, fontname, NULL) call in a program.

By default, libxaw3dxft uses UTF8 (Xaw3dXftEncoding = 0), other encodings
are available via Xaw3dXftEncoding = 8 or 16.

CAUTION: the libxaw3dxft-1.3.3.tar.bz2 package uploaded on January 31, 2012
had a slight issue (one letter misspelled in the definition
    #define XtNxftFont "xftFont"
in SmeBSB.h). Please correct or re-download the new version uploaded on 
February 1.
