Updated patches for Links-2.1pre32

links-2.1pre32-dnd.patch.gz
---------------------------

Install the patch and recompile.

Provides allows links to act as a drop target 
for dran 'n' drop. For fun, load up the attached test.rtf in your 
favourite DnD capable wordprocessor (such as OpenOffice 1 or 2), select 
the text and drag it over to links.

To be done: Better integration. DnD doesn't work when a dialog box is 
present. This is because I can't quite figure out how to make it work in 
links. The DnD engine generate B_DND_DROP and B_DND_REQUEST which the 
event handler needs to respond to. I can't figure out how to get dialogs 
to respond to these events.


links-2.1pre32-italic.patch.gz
------------------------------

Install the patch and do:

bash extra_fonts.sh

Then recompile.

This patch adds italics and a fair number of accented characters are 
included. latin.map describes how to merge accents with letters to make 
accented glyphs. The font is rendered using ghostscript and a postscript 
font. NetPBM is used to process the rendered bitmaps.




Both patches work together without interference.

Have fun,

-Ed
