experimental patch: Re: dillo2 wrapping Chinese
by corvid＠lavabit.com June 6, 2009

dillo people: It turns out that dillo handles Chinese quite badly because the text doesn't contain whitespace (BUG 827). It looks like Japanese is that way as well. 1) People using East Asian languages: Does this do roughly the right thing? I've read that there are picky rules about certain individual characters, but I just mean in general here. 2) Thoughts on optimization are welcomed. littlebat: For some reason, I was thinking that whitespace was required between words in dillo, but I misremembered. littlebat wrote: > Hi, > Thanks for the work on Dillo. > > I think it isn't a good idea to resolve long chinese line wrapping > problem by inserting space after punctuation mark("?" or "?" or "?", > etc..). > > Here is a "Dillo2 Wrap Long Chinese Line Test" page: > http://www.learndiary.com/en/dillo2-wrap-long-chinese-line-test.htm . > Open it with Firefox or IE, then open it with Dillo2, You will see the > different of wrapping long chinese line between them. > > Note, unlike english, there is no space between Chinese characters.

I think it would be nice to have a NOP binding to get rid of a default binding. complicated patch:

patch: smaller findbar buttons for narrow screen
by corvid＠lavabit.com June 4, 2009

I resized my window to make it narrower and discovered that the findbar buttons eat all of the space and make the input widget disappear. With button width reduced to 40 with a narrow window, if I resize down to match that ipaq screenshot that Andreas made, I can still see a reasonable amount of input field.

view source dpi question
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de June 2, 2009

June 2, 2009

Hi, annoyed by the slow source view widget I'd like to play with a source viewer dpi (Jorge, I think you suggested to use a dpi instead of coding it in dillo directly). However I want to avoid to reload the page from the dpi, as I want to be able to view the source exactly as it is currently displayed. How should I pass the html document from dillo to the dpi? Any ideas? Cheers, Johannes

https through a proxy
by corvid＠lavabit.com June 1, 2009

Yesterday I hacked up (it's still very hacky right now) some code that is intended to make https work through a proxy, but I haven't tested it on an actual proxy yet. Do you have any suggestions on what would be the most convenient way to go about this? (It'd be nicer just to test with something that's running out there than to do a bunch of building and configuring for something I'll just rm again afterward.)
