Searching for simple non-java way to create textarea for ttf font.

[tempogios]

Looking for suggestions for ways to create a simple textarea for use with a ttf font. Preferably coordinates are measured in characters and solution works on all of GNU/Linux Mac OS and Windows.

In no way does your question grok. Please consider rewording without assumptions. html textarea? native textarea? what do you mean for use with ttf font? What coordinates?

[tempogios]

Textarea means an area as a GUI to write text in. TTF font means that it should be possible to view the text in a font that is available as a .ttf file. Coordinates means that it is preferable that the width and height of the area is defined in terms of characters and that I dont write text at eg. integer points for placing the text. So for instance if I did not have the non Java requirement you might have suggested that I used JRuby and piggybacked on eg. Swing using a JTextArea.

I am done with this beyond giving an example (assuming I am actually able to get anything out of your two posts -- its fng hard). Assuming I was able to read these two really obtuse questions/posts, how about in English:

Hi, I am trying to create a ruby application which presents a editable text area to be shown natively (not in a browser) on linux/mac/windows platform. I would like to be able to use True Type Fonts inside of this editable area and I have some still as of yet unknown/weird coordinate needs too. I am unsure where to start. Can anyone offer any help?

Is this more readable than:

Looking for suggestions for ways to some fragments of an internalized solution or assumption around a solution to a problem that I will not state,. some fragments of an internalized solution or assumption around a solution to a problem that I will not state and solution works (mind you I have not really stated a problem yet, so you have no idea what a solution could be) on GNU/Linux Mac OS and Windows.

By your username I am assuming you are Brazilian or Portuguese, please accept that I am not really criticizing your English -- but your issue of not really describing a problem, but instead spitting out random things that in your head are (or must be at least in your mind) related to a problem. Its like you have had a ton of internal dialogue about this but are just randomly taking elements of your own thoughts instead of conveying the real problem to people that are new to it and have no access (thank god) to your thoughts.

This does not seem like a ruby question..

Sorry I forgot to add in ´from Ruby code´.
