Fluppy 013

[jemimah]

I actually think the included deja vu fonts look pretty nice.

I'm been meaning to remove the hard coded minimum font size (or set it much smaller), but I keep forgetting.

gnash in Seamonkey fails to render the video here:

I get only a blank box. Anyone else seeing the same?

It works OK with Lucid 5.1.1, Seamonkey, and Flash.

Hi all

Jemimah,
Any chance you can fix the Fluppy 006 iso and repost it? I've got an old laptop I'd like to try with it, and it can't boot from USB, only CD.

Thanks.

I've got Fluppy 006 working pretty much the way I want it now. Printing works, suspend and lid switch works, it looks good, fast and responsive. The last thing that is bugging me is font rendering in Chrome. Take a look at this page in Chrome:

The fonts are all messed up, especially on the right hand side.
Is there a font package I can install, or setting I can change to fix this? I did some searching, but didn't find anything really relevant.

Thanks for all your help.

The problem is more subtle but exists in Seamonkey 2.0.8 as well.

Look at Jemimah's response. That fixed the problem.

OK, so adding fonts should work in Seamonkey as well as Chrome and Firefox?

Sounds simple ... and that worries me ...

I did it in Puppy 4.3.1 in Seamonkey and it worked. Not as many choices in the font properties in Seamonkey, but it helped a lot.

Please note the script to download the fonts. In Fluppy 006, I had to remove that extra " to get the script to work. In Puppy 4.3.1 on another computer, I had to leave it in. Go figure...

Yup, I'm on it.

If jemimah is on it than it is certain to be resolved!

Standing by for the CUPS fix ...

Are similar manual edits to the default config file for Seamonkey -

"minimum_font_size" and "minimum_logical_font_size" required?

If I do all of the following the problem should be solved, in both Fluppy 005 and in Lucid 5.1.1?

A handy little script to download MS fonts. Stolen from Browserlinux puplet.

#!/bin/sh

fonts_url="http://avi.alkalay.net/software/webcore ... 3.0.tar.gz"

DISPAY=:0.0 rxvt -e bash -c "

echo Please wait...
echo

wget $fonts_url
tar -xf webcore-fonts-3.0.tar.gz
mkdir /root/.fonts

rm -r webcore-fonts
rm webcore-fonts-3.0.tar.gz

There is a mistake in the script above.

DISPAY=:0.0 rxvt -e bash -c "

should be

DISPAY=:0.0 rxvt -e bash -c

There is a stray " in the original script.

You don't have to do anything to a config file for Seamonkey.

You do both for for Fluppy, assuming you are using Chrome in it. I don't know about Lucid, but I would assume the same thing applies there if it uses Chrome or Seamonkey.

And "DISPAY" is correct and not "DISPLAY"?

Correct. Just copy and paste it into your terminal program. If it gives you an error, make a copy, remove the " and try again. Won't hurt anything.

It worked in both Floppy 005 and Lucid 5.1.1

Thanks to all!

I tweaked the Seamonkey guys to fix this.

BTW: It makes some other sites look nicer as well!

gnash is having trouble with http://syfy.com

Does anyone else see the problem with the video, the one at the top and full-width of the home page and the other down and to the right?

WDYT?

I'm not using Fluppy but noted this suggestion for adding fonts to Firefox. I've been disappointed by the default "draft" quality fonts in TXZ puppy so d/l this webcore-fonts file and unpacked it to the /root/.fonts directory and the very next page I clicked on came up in a new crisp-looking font! Thank you.

Chris.

You're welcome.

I just went here and of the live links over half of them required Silverlight - a proprietary MS app - the rest failed to work (blank pop-up). Any idea why, please?

I don't know if it is relevant but I am using gnash instead of Flash with Seamonkey 2.0.8 on my Samsung NB30 w.Fluppy 005 -- would an upgrade to 006 possibly sold the problem?

Jemimah, that Fluppy logo is GORGEOUS!
