Most packages on Hackage have a 'Maintainer' field providing an email address to which you can send bug reports. Although I see that in this particular case, Jeff Heard did not list an email address in the Maintainer field for Hieroglyph. -Brent

Danny, I'll fix this today and repost and add a maintainer email address in the cabal package while I'm at it. Thanks! 2009/3/19 Danny Chan :

Since I haven't found out how to report bugs for this package, I am posting this here.

Changing the color of Text elements in a Hieroglyph image like this:

text {attributes = plain {strokeRGBA = opaque blue}}

does not work correctly. Instead, the color used for the text is the one of the previously drawn element. With the little knowledge I have about cairo, it seems that the bug is in the renderPrimitive function in Cairo.hs where the order of Cairo.setSourceRGBA and Cairo.showText is wrong. Something like this seems to work:

renderPrimitive _ s0 (Text str (Point ox oy) state) = do     applyAttributeDelta s0 state     Cairo.moveTo ox oy     let (sr,sg,sb,sa) = colourToTuple . strokeRGBA $ state     when (outlined state) $         Cairo.setSourceRGBA sr sg sb sa     Cairo.showText str     when (clipped state) $ Cairo.clip     return state

By the way, for the complete newbie that I am, is there a standard way to report bugs for a package from Hackage?
