/usr/people/flexionI'm using libXft now to render text in the Mastodon client on #IRIX to better handle posts in languages with umlauts etc.
jwz@flexion Hearing that Xft works on Irix is quite a thing, like I think that GLSL would be less surprising.
@jwz xft can be found in SGUG-RSE. GLSL needs a newer OpenGL version than we have on IRIX.
But soon there will be WebKit (still crashes a lot) and Go on IRIX 😎

@flexion Now that I think about it, I'm curious how well GLSL would work on old SGI hardware. It's been so long that I've forgotten how much of it was locked to the fixed-function pipeline and how much of it was exposable as a SIMD coprocessor that would just need a new user-space syntax on top of it.
