The Qtopia adaption was done with a new OutputDev which renders directly to a QPixmap via QPainter calls. Changes in 20020406: - Font substitution handling improved. - Unknown characters are simply ignored now. - Fullscreen view added.

Since ARMs are not equipped with a FPU, all doubles have been replaced with a C++ class "fouble" (fixed double), which operates on 32bit integers with fixed point arithmetic. This gave a speedup of up to 800% for image rendering. - No Font handling anymore - This means no embedded, no true-type, no type1- fonts. The task to choose the right font is up to the Qt QFont class.
