I’m doing a graphics application and need onscreen anti-aliasing for  
both lines and text. Seems like wxGraphicsContext would do that, is that  
planned to be ported to wxRuby?

Best regards,

Just a quick update - I tried a preliminary wrapping of GraphicsContext  
and have a working sample drawing antialiased lines and text on Linux.  
Barring problems on other platforms we should be able to include this in  
the next wxRuby version.

Sounds fantastic! Thanks to all you people who do the porting stuff,  
you’re doing great work!
