It's worth noting, though, that Firefox seeks to maintain feature parity in terms of what's exposed to the Web across the different desktop platforms even when proprietary system facilities are used as part of the implementation on proprietary systems. For example, on Windows, Firefox can use DirectWrite, but the capability exposed to the Web is not DirectWrite per se but TrueType rasterization which can be delivered using FreeType on desktop Linux. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@hsivonen.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
