Thanks.

The scaled image of the Empeg screen is possible/easy to place there, but I have no clue as to how to smooth it. In effect, when you bring up a menu or search, what you get is a 3x magnification of the empeg screen or relevant portion. I'll include an option to permanently show a 3x magnification of the screen in my todo list.

Rendering text in the server should be easy for someone who has done any kind of linux development. Doing it on the client side was very easy because I am familiar with the Win32 apis to do it. I would appreciate it if anyone could give pointers on how to do it at the server.

I must add, however, that sending the text and rendering on the client is 20 times more efficient from the perspective of network bandwith usage. The best solution would probably be to add the TextRect VNC data format (I made this up for this project) to the Linux VNC client.
