They've long since replaced them with GNU/Linux machines and I've been at Red Hat for over five years, so those days are long gone :) I have some Freetype fixes to push to Classpath as well, so I'll fix this too and look at merging to gcj in the not-too-distant future. I think it's long overdue. Ideally, the change should be left out of this patch, so as to avoid conflicts. > Cheers, > > Mark > > Thanks, -- Andrew :) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
