Diamond 2.0, 3.0 Forum

Hello,

using the current WINE, which will be used for CrossOver Office 5, Diamond has even more improved -- and fortunally not regressed at all.
I'd give it a Silver rating.

Improvements:

• Details, a richedit view, now works pretty well (except for printing -- it produces hundreds of almost empty pages); this includes displaying, including sub-/superscript and tabpostions, saving as text/RTF and copy'n'paste (text/RTF)

• Rendering has a bit improved: Double bufferering does still not work (may crash or produces only a warning message), but normal rendering works except that it overpaints the whole window with the background colour (i.e. menus, toolbars, etc.)

• Maybe there some printing/exporting problems with rendered object, but I don't know whether this is different on Windows.

• One still needs to remove/disable the OPENGL32.dll which comes with newer Diamond 2.x (in a way that is a Diamond not a WINE/CXO problem)

PS: I install Diamond2 with CX4.x and use it then usually with WINE, but printing support in CX is still marginaly better so I sometimes start it using CX4. Let's see when CX5 will come out.

Note: Double buffering is not needed at all - unfortunally, it is enabled by default

background colour (i.e. menus, toolbars, etc.)
This should have been fixed since today in the CVS version of Wine (and probably of CXO).
