Hi David,
Sorry to bug you like this, but I was wondering if you’re the maintainer of
SoFont atm (I’m cc:ing this to the sdl list in case you aren’t, and don’t
want to be bothered. Also 'cause I’d like to involve everybody into my mail
correspondance 
I was just wondering if SoFont was going to include some input functionality
like SFont anytime soon. I’m trying to implement this, but I’m afraid that
both SFont and SoFont documentation is a bit sparse for someone who just
recently started coding c/c++. I don’t mean to press you, of course, and if
SoFont development has stopped, I’d try it myself. I’d appreciate some hints
then, though. I’d bug you for those seperately, though.
TIA, Kai–

No, I just fixed some stuff in it while working on Kobo Deluxe. (BTW, I’ll probably have to drop SoFont from the engine before I release it as a separate project, due to a GPL/LGPL conflict.)

No idea. I thought it was there already, but I might be mixing things up - and I’ve never used that feature either way.

So where do I send patches? Luc-Olliver de Charriere didn’t leave a mail
address, and Karl Bartel clearly states he’s not maintaining it.

Well, as far as I can see, there isn’t. Just to satisfy my curiosity, the
changelog entry states you replaced strings by const char*s. Why on earth did
you do that?

IIRC, they were never string classes, just “char *” - which meant that code that passed a constant string simply wouldn’t compile with my aggressively picky compiler settings.

Ok, then I’ll bug Karl…

Oh, ok. I replaced those with const std::string&s now, as the code didn’t do
error checking.
