Subject: Re: QuickDraw and OS X 10.5

Hi again,

I just noticed that QuickDraw (which vim uses if nomacatsui is set) doesn't work with the resolution independence in 10.5. Source:

I just wanted to raise awareness of this issue. Let's all test Jigod Jiang's ATSUI patch; if it fixes all problems we should drop the QuickTime code.

To follow up on this:

"In Tiger, Apple provides one more big reason for developers to move away from QuickDraw. If an application uses QuickDraw to draw anything in a particular window, that window is entirely exempt from Quartz 2D Extreme acceleration. Instead, everything falls back to the Jaguar/Panther model: the CPU does the drawing and writes the results into a backing store in RAM."
