I'm developing an application a part of which is basically a WYSIWYG text editor with rich text capabilities (including full justification, text coloring, highlighting, multiple fonts, different sizes, tables)
I'm reluctant to use RichTextBox for it because I'm aware of its relative slowness while I will need lightning speeds for this on windows XP.
Therefore my question is -- is there any fast text rendering libs/combonents that I could use? I will consider any suggestion.
Make your application in WPF, the WPF renderer is far faster than GDI+ which a WinForms application uses.
I considered it, but won't WPF itself is a bit heavy for P4 1 Hz 1024 Mb with WinXP onboard?
Depends. It uses DirectX as it's renderer, so how's the graphic's system?
Onboard. I don't know the exact configuration but I suspect that you wouldn't want to launch any new 3d shooter on it :)Quote:

I could probably resort to c++ and gdi but I'd avoid it if I can.
Can anybody say something about Pango? (http://www.pango.org/) They say it can work with Win32 GDI
