Hey all,
Hey Tor,

I didn't expect that there were so many differences between Gtk+ 2.12 and 2.16. I guess you are right and I should switch to the current Gtk+ win32 distribution.

Is it enough to load a font via AddFontResourceEx or do I have to update fontconfig as well? (so pango can find that font) If so, how to do this during runtime?

Thanks, Jan
