It’s been 2 years since I got QuartzTextEnabler to the point where it worked for me. In that time I haven’t needed to rebuild it or change anything but when I got Eve, I realised I was going to have to do something. You see, I still use AppleWorks on a regular basis and it’s Carbon text rendering still looks crap.
I was stuck for a while because QuartzTextEnabler relies on APE which wasn’t Universal but I noticed today that it had been updated so I fired up XCode, managed to get it building a Universal binary and now I can enjoy Quartz text rendering in AppleWorks again.
I’ve left up the old version because the new one won’t work on Panther.
If you’re crazy (like me) and you still use AppleWorks, even on an Intel Mac, you need QuartzTextEnabler. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without it :)
