Hi !

I compiled tcl/tk and XF and didn't observe the problem you have. All
Strings are drawn correctly. I'm using the Retina X-server in the 256
color mode.

But with Tcl/Tk another problem showed up: when Tcl/Tk wants to lookup
a color from the color database, only color names which are completely
lowercase are recognized. Color names with uppercase letters are
"unknown" and give me an error message. Is this a bug in my color DB,
or a bug in the server ?
