ykot: is the fonttool source somewhere?
I've sent you PM with link to source code. It is GPL v3 licensed. Later on I'll publish the project on GitHub; the reason why I haven't done so already is that I wanted to get rid of JSB DirectX headers dependency, which the tool needs for Direct2D. PXL itself has the necessary headers except Direct2D. My header translation tool (which I also want to publish eventually) didn't like some code in Microsoft Direct2D sources, so it was the last thing I was stuck at.

IMO github is much better for that kind of projects (much easier to send patches etc) :P I have bad felling about PLX.

I'm new to this, can anybody give me a hint ?
Is that all the same: Asphyre, Asphyre Sphinx 3.0.4 (4.0.0 Marco Cestari Version), Pascal eXtended Library ?

Just a short kick into the right direction... please...

@SoE: Not at all. Looks like PXL is useless. For now is under GPL again (IMO worst possible licence for that kind of project). Very strange policy. github repo was removed. Better try to use castle game engine ( https://github.com/castle-engine ) or old Asphyre. :\

I have copy of PXL under allowed triple licence model from GitHub (MPL 2, GPL 3 and LGPL 3, the last two having linking exception). Maybe I will upload my copy on GitHub again.

  • Kallstadt seems a good place to evict Trump to.

It would help if you explain that with an example. Assumed the linker exception still applies.
But I am sure they don't want the Trumps back...

Nope. For now it is pure GPL. I need to send/fork copy of v1 branch of original PXL to github.

That is disrespectful. Respect the author's choices.
Good judgement is the result of experience … Experience is the result of bad judgement.

Law is not retroactive. The choice is respected. I don't use sourceforge GPL version only legal MPL/GPL/LGPL GitHub branch v1 version.
