Though, I'm not quite sure about it since FreeBASIC renders the loaded BMP correctly. Here's the link to FreeBASIC's sour code for the BLOAD functionality: <a target="_blank" href="https://fbc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fbc/trunk/FreeBASIC/src/gfxlib2/libfb_gfx_bload.c">https://fbc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fbc/trunk/FreeBASIC/src/gfxlib2/libfb_gfx_bload.c</a> The function 'load_bmp' is on line 185. Maybe you could help find the bug, if there is. Right now, I'm really hoping for unofficial patch: * cairo_image_surface_create_from_bmp * cairo_image_surface_create_from_jpg * cairo_image_surface_create_from_tga to make it easier for me and others to load images on Cairo Surface. <div> </div>Regards.
