It can use Xft (compile time option) or the legacy X fonts. -- Cheers Jorge.-

I tried a few times with and without dpid already running and can't reproduce it on my machine. I'll keep trying to get a way or hint on it, this is just to let you know. It is very hard to try to debug a problem you don't know how to reproduce. The good news is that I found a way to crash the current file-dpi by hitting reload quickly. This didn't happen with 0.8.2, so I'll start investigating here hoping it gets me to the root of the same problem. If someone here on the mailing list can reporduce it at home, a report on how it happens or not would also be welcomed. > [...] > Sorry for reporting the bug rather late after Jorge's email, > but I came across this problem only yesterday. No problem. It looks like we'll have to delay the release and make an rc2. -- Cheers Jorge.- PS: I kept waiting some patches from you. What happened? Or is it my head that lost track of them... ;-)

I've no idea what Slackware put in their packages, but GTK2 certainly doesn't take 26MB of disk space. > And GTK2 is much slower than GTK1 which on low-CPU-power is a > problem. True enough. I don't personally have any interest in anything slower than about 200 MIPS, and GTK2 runs at a perfectly respectable speed on that kind of hardware. But I can see that this would be a concern for people working on really slow machines. p.

Re: [Dillo-dev]0.8.3rc1 test

by Lars Segerlund

I would consider trying to do a gtk2 port, or is this discouraged ? The reason is that gtk2 seem's to be the most used toolkit these days, also it's available using cairo for rendering :-) .. ( hardware acceleration, glitz ). I have to give it a good thinkover berore I commit to it though. / Lars Segerlund.

I'll try to look at your report today Matthias. People having troubles with the new dpi-based "file:" handling, or other dpis, by all means please report how. A way to reproduce, the best that you can provide. That way we can work on the bugs that otherwise we may remain unaware of. Like these. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Sometimes I wonder why PDAs and handhelds went with GTK2. For instance, in Slackware: PACKAGE NAME: gtk+-1.2.10-i386-3 COMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE: 1534 K UNCOMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE: 4420 K PACKAGE NAME: gtk+2-2.4.3-i486-1 COMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE: 5946 K UNCOMPRESSED PACKAGE SIZE: 26350 K That's 26MB instead of 4MB!

The good news, is that after we go FLTK, a statically linked dillo binary could be made. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Unfortunately the question is not as simple as anyone would like. Adding keyboard navigation is not an easy task and it requires some knowledge. Once upon a time Frank de Lange worked on this and he managed to build a protoype that was a polishing phase away from being included in the main trunk. You can explore the mailing list archives and find his work. Beware of the huge integrated patch by him, just get the keyboard part and try to start from there, otherwise you'll get lost. Hope this helps. -- Cheers Jorge.-
