From koffice-devel Fri Jul 06 14:34:38 2001 From: David Faure Date: Fri, 06 Jul 2001 14:34:38 +0000 To: koffice-devel Subject: Status of the WYSIWYG support in KWord. X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=koffice-devel&m=99444015411857 After all the discussions about the WYSIWYG problems in KWord, and after reading a little bit of Abiword's source code (it turns out Abiword does it the way I thought, but at least it confirms my idea about it ;), I have started to implement a solution in KWord. Obviously, this is about doing the layout at a constant, precise resolution (1440 DPI is what I found in abiword and it sounds ok to me), with big fonts, and displaying the stuff with smaller fonts but using that precise layout. This requires to change a lot of KWord's code (not the class design, but all the coordinate conversions), so this won't go in before KOffice-1.1. Just to let you know that I'm working on this, and that big changes in KWord should be avoided until this is committed, otherwise the conflicts will be huge. For the same reason, I can't really make a libkofficetext for kpresenter before 1.1, but that's not a problem either - porting kpresenter to it is for after 1.1 anyway. Can't tell if the solution works well yet, this fork of KWord is quite broken at the moment ;-) (If there is interest in helping with it, I can commit to a branch, of course) -- David FAURE, david@mandrakesoft.com, faure@kde.org http://perso.mandrakesoft.com/~david/, http://www.konqueror.org/ KDE, Making The Future of Computing Available Today _______________________________________________ Koffice-devel mailing list Koffice-devel@master.kde.org http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
