@ -119,23 +119,6 @@ I defined my own types which need to be set to the correct size for each

platform. But if your development environment provides the header file you can define
|
||||
`GUI_USE_FIXED_SIZE_TYPES` to directly use the correct types.

|

#### Why is font/input/window management not provided?
|
||||
As for window and input management it is a ton of work to abstract over
|
||||
all possible platforms and there are already libraries like SDL or SFML or even
|
||||
the platform itself which provide you with the functionality.
|
||||
So instead of reinventing the wheel and trying to do everything the project tries
|
||||
to be as independent and out of the users way as possible.
|
||||
This means in practice a little bit more work on the users behalf but grants a
|
||||
lot more freedom especially because the toolkit is designed to be embeddable.
|
||||
|
||||
The font management on the other hand is litte bit more tricky. In the beginning
|
||||
the toolkit had some basic font handling but I removed it later. This is mainly
|
||||
a question of if font handling should be part of a gui toolkit or not. As for a
|
||||
framework the question would definitely be yes but for a toolkit library the
|
||||
question is not as easy. In the end the project does not have font handling
|
||||
since there are already a number of font handling libraries in existence or even the
|
||||
platform (Xlib, Win32) itself already provides a solution.
