dillo-0.7.1 (fwd)

It is lean, fast and free. For web browsing and writing of simple html texts, I use mozilla. But I was looking for a reader for documentation written in html, and loading mozilla takes far too long for that. So - congratulations. Should you ever decide to inflate dillo to a full fledged web browser, stuffed with all kind of gizmos, please keep offering a small, fast version such as the actual one.

Re: [Dillo-dev] Unix domain sockets

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! Thanks Phil (Pennock) for your answer on Unix domain sockets. I kept cosidering the alternatives, and apart from the UDS idea (not feasible), the incomplete "bye" command, there's also another option! kill `ps -U <USER> | grep bm_srv12 | sed 's/^ *//g' | cut -d' ' -f1` That is, issued from dillo to force the shut down of a running bookmark server. For instance: if the user is "jcid" then a: kill `ps -U jcid | grep bm_srv12 | sed 's/^ *//g' | cut -d' ' -f1` solves the problem. Obviously, the definitive solutions need a well defined design (which I'm currently studying, BTW is a bit like JINI). The point is: Does this command work well on *BSDs, and Solaris? If that command can bring a running server down, we're done! Andreas: please give it a try. If, let's say, tomorrow I have some feedback, I'd commit a version that includes the command and 0.7.2 would be scheduled for release on Friday, so Phil B. can pack a .deb that's ready at announce time. Cheers Jorge.-

I did not use xfs, was that the problem? Mozilla and xchat support Vera nevertheless. Now i run xfs Dillo and xlsfonts do find Vera, too. I use the gentoo-ebuild-dillo, which is currently Dillo 0.7.1, hm i miss the select function i think i will compile the new version now :) > If you can't see the fontname in the output of xlsfonts, then it's not > a Dillo issue and you'll need to chase down the problem elsewhere; > package installer, xfstt settings, "xset q" output (the "fp" stuff for > fontpath), and various other things.

I'm not sure if it's case-sensitive, but I can confirm that the line above, lower-case, works for me. Run: xlsfonts | fgrep -i vera | less If that doesn't show anything, you haven't yet got your X server able to see the fonts. If you're using xfstt, be sure to run "xfstt --sync" after installation. If you can't see the fontname in the output of xlsfonts, then it's not a Dillo issue and you'll need to chase down the problem elsewhere; package installer, xfstt settings, "xset q" output (the "fp" stuff for fontpath), and various other things. If you can see the fontname in xlsfonts and it doesn't work for you in Dillo, then pass; I'm using Dillo 0.7.2-pre from some time in the past three weeks or so and can supply library linkage on request, if it'll help track the problem down.

Vera

by Andreas Zwinkau

ave There is this new truetype font Bitstream Vera, which looks very nice IMHO. Example: http://www.bitstream.com/categories/products/fonts/vera/ Download: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf-bitstream-vera/1.10/ Is it possible to use it in Dillo? I tried to add this in the dillorc vw_fontname="Bitstream Vera Sans" fw_fontname="Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" But then everything had the same font size. <H1> the same size and weight as <H§3> etc. -- Andreas Zwinkau | web: andi.dasstellenwirinsinternet.de | mail: andi(a)buxach.de | jabber: beza1e1(a)amessage.de

I know it needs another revision and the only reason I haven't done it, is because I have a lot of things to sort in the project at this time. The Dillo project is slowly entering into what can be stated as a second stage in its development cycle. We're a single step away from https, Downloads and FTP. The funding initiative also has taken a lot of my time, but its yields is what has made my continued work possible. Now I have to plan for the future: after 0.7.2 is released (with Copy&Paste), most probably the pressure for adding new features will increase (it already had internally!). People will start thinking of using sourceforge an other sites with dillo, and I want the impression that lingers from using the browser there, is of a fast, stable and reliable tool. We're not far from there, and I owe a more detailed planning email to dillo-dev. For now, I'm on 0.7.2 release, then I'll focus on the SSL plugin (asking for the cooperation of all of those that had showed interest and code to make https work). I already have a guy working on the downloads plugin (as his thesis), and as I made the FTP plugin, I know exactly how to integrate it with downloads. Appart from that, I still have to finish the design of dpi initialization, addition, managing etc. (needed to support several dpis at the same time). Add generic patch-reviewing/correcting/integrating, answering the mailing list, keeping the web site updated and you'll have an idea of my duties. Ah, we even hold some nice patches for Linear History, Image menu popup, cache size, speedups and so on, just because we haven't got them stable or polished enough to integrate (within the limited time of our prioritized schedules). Finally I want to send a big thank and my sincere recognition to all of you who have kept following and cooperating (patches, testing, informed comments, documentation, icons, etc) with this project for all (or scattered periods) of its lifespan. Without you, it wouldn't have become what it is today. Sincerely Jorge.-

Please read the FONT related articles from our [links] section. They explain why we don't include support for the FONT element. As for the expires patch, I'll get back to it after 0.7.2 is out.
