Spent the entire time building and rebuilding sodipodi to get it working with
Apple’s x11 and xfree86.

There were serious problems with libXft and fonts, had to hack the hell out of configure to get it working on Apple’s x11 (beta 3) because it does not have pkg-config files for xft, so configure wasn’t finding it, also had to change code which only allowed fonts with certain extensions to load. I know this sounds like something easy, and it was, but it took hours to figure out what the hell was going wrong, yet more hours to install apple’s x11 and another fink and yet more hours to build multiple times against both x11’s. What a pita.

So, because I spent so long messing with it, and because this site is seriously lacking in graphics, here is a screenie of sodipidi-0.32
running on Max OS X 10.2.6 with Apple’s x11 beta 3.
