Thus spaketh higuita: > a font might be installed in the new system, but not installed > in the old X font system... this is your problem... I might agree, except I installed every font package on the KDE system onto the XFCE system. Xlsfonts and xfontsel shows the same output on both machines (see below). No, I think it's a matter of which GTK engine KDE is running. Strangely, XFCE 4 is GTK 2-based... The answer is probably in an obscure GTK config file somewhere. >> I don't think you mean xfontsel because that just lets me see what fonts >> look like, it doesn't show which my X server is using. > > nope, if a font show there, its installed and will show with > any problem as any aplication You might be right; the manpage *does* say xfonsel "displays the fonts known to your X server" but I haven't figured out how... I've only figured out how to show the number of matches (3022) and select an individual font and view it. xlsfonts showed me all of the fonts known to my X server but the output is identical on both systems. > so try it, check the bitstream vera fonts, they are good > fonts and should exist in all distros today > se if they look the same in xfontsel in both systems... Vera isn't an option under "fmly" on either system; it isn't even greyed out so that I could choose it if it were enabled. When I choose the bistream "fndry" and go to "fmly" I only see charter, courier, terminal. >> I compared font packages on both machines and ensured both had the same >> packages installed.

Both systems now have exactly the same fonts. Xfontsel says "3022 names match" when I open it on both systems. Xlsfonts also matches (I did a diff on the output). I've installed the same font .deb packages. I just don't understand it. >> X on both machines are now using strictly xfs for fonts. > > also try in both systems with a new temporary user > and see if you get the same results...

Also, same screen resolution and color depth. About the only difference between the two machines is KDE and XFCE. I refuse to use such bloatware on my fast work computer.

Thanks for the effort. Let me know if I have to restart X + XFS after running xset on the KDE machine. CD "You will exist forever.

[Dillo-dev]Ugly fonts

by Chris de Vidal

This must be related to the GTK 1.x engine that's used with XFCE 4. I say that because the font in the type location box (Ctrl+L) has the same ugliness that Dillo renders websites with, and this font is the same as used by the menus at the top of Multi-Gnome-Terminal. But on GTK 2.x programs I get a nice anti-aliased font for the menus. J-Pilot, a GTK app, was recently converted from 1.x to 2.x. Before the upgrade fonts were terrible; now they're smooth. KDE must use a slightly different configuration for GTK 1.x apps; on the wife's computer, both Dillo and Multi-Gnome-Terminal use nice fonts for the menus, location box (Dillo, Ctrl+L), and when Dillo renders HTML. I have the same versions of GTK 1.x and 2.x on both machines. XFCE 4 is GTK 2.x-based. Do I *have* to install a heavy window manager to use a light web browser? Not fair :( Livio Baldini Soares wrote: > Chris, regarding your Debian box, make sure you have correctly > configured your '/etc/fonts/local.conf' configuration file. > Specifically, I have found that most Debian default installations > disable bitmapped fonts, due to the use of anti-aliased or truetype > fonts used in most applications and/or window managers.

Never doubted that for a second, especially when exactly the same Dillo binary and config file worked at home.

I compared font packages on both machines and ensured both had the same packages installed. Some were missing, so I installed them, updated the font cache, restarted X. No joy. xlsfonts shows exactly the same fonts on both machines. X on both machines are now using strictly xfs for fonts. I think I'll just give up using Dillo for now... it hurts the eyes too much.

An easier approach would be to follow the directions of: Q: After the upgrade I got: "ERROR: can't start dpid daemon!" in the FAQ. From this lines: > dpi_socket_dir.c:61: tst_dir: access : No such file or directory > - /tmp/andrea-u1ua5k/ > debug_msg - init_sockdir: The socket directory /tmp/andrea-u1ua5k does not ex > or is not a directory dpid.c:500: init_all_dpi_sockets: bind : Address alread > in use/tmp/andrea-69f7lb/bookmarks.dpi It's clear there're conflicts with the directory and an old dpi server. The directory names are different and there's a bound address for bookmarks. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Basically the umask(0) call is there because the "Linux Programming Second Edition Unleashed" recommends so as a standard for daemons ;). Now, looking into it, it makes much more sense to use 077 as a mask for dpis (i.e. only allowing the owner). > > Another detail I noticed while checking file creation > is this: > --- dillo-0.8.3/src/cookies.c.rz 2004-11-28 12:39:33.000000000 +0100 > +++ dillo-0.8.3/src/cookies.c 2004-11-28 12:40:22.000000000 +0100 > @@ -100,7 +100,7 @@ > > if ((F_in = fopen(filename, "r+")) == NULL) { > /* Create the file */ > - fd = open(filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR); > + fd = open(filename, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR, 0777); > if (fd != -1) { > if (init_str) > write(fd, init_str, strlen(init_str)); Well, with the proper mask set to 0077 this would not be required. If the need to add explicit permissions arise, it'd be 0077 too. Comments are welcome. -- Cheers Jorge.-

The locale needs to be set before parsing the options because some of them can change its meanings (e.g. 1,2 != 1.2). gtk_init(&argc, &argv) needs to be called to get rid of gtk specific args (hopefully not much of an issue when working under FLTK though ;). -- Cheers Jorge.-
