Some laptops require more prep work than others before a Pup can be loaded.

This video gives a thorough run-thru of how a Lenovo lappy can be readied for Puppy install:

Hi memo - what version of Vivaldi are you using please? I am trying this technique with version 1.9.818 but see nothing happen when I try to drag the tab to the left control bar. cheers! EDIT: Got it! It does not work if I drag the tab across but instead I can click the little "+" sign in ...

Why do people keep blaming gmail/google as if it is their fault... Because it is Google's fault. They have no right to intercept genuine communications from a forum like this when a user has requested a valid login. Google's assumption of administrative and monitoring powers is done without authori...

Thanks!

Hi memo, any tips on how js can be switched off in Palemoon? What is your method?
Cheers!

specific content about Puppies before, say Slacko 5.7, is more of historical interest than immediately useful. [Slacko 5.7 was suggested 'off the top of my head'. Even that 'terminus point' should be open to discussion]. I almost choked on my own gizzard when i read that. My daily driver is still b...

Oh dear lord.
Wearing a puppy T-shirt makes people lick your ear wax???

In fact you can't use the Dingbats font anywhere. You don't see numbers and letters in font2font because the Dingbats font doesn't contain these characters. It just contains (most) of the Unicode characters of the Dingbat Block .... When you open Abiword with a new document, select Dingbats as your...

Heeheehee, i dont need yad or yafsplash any more now that i can instruct the user using big fonts in gxmessage! This will be handy.

Gxmessage manual page says this - are you trying to do something else? -fn | -font FONT Specifies the message font, using GTK2's font specification system. For example, -font "serif italic 14". Brilliant! Thanks! I had displayed the --help info for gxmessage but did not spot that little g...

A TTF font has no defined size. It's scalable by definition, so you can have it in any size you want. Thanks for the clarification Mochi. What prompted my question was the example you offered on your font thread - showing the use of font name specification within gxmessage. I had not seen that befo...

Does anyone know if it is possible to build a TTF (or other) font file that will ALWAYS create characters of a certain size - much larger than other fonts? What I mean is this - a TTF font file will normally specify fonts of different sizes and types (eg bold, italic etc) but sometimes I find that c...

Useful utility, thanks.

Can you suggest why I see the following symbols shown when I compare Dingbats? I assume something must be missing from my system or incorrectly set up.

I can use Dingbats within Abiword so as far as I know the actual font is installed.

Thanks!

My intended post was never posted, because all of the text disappeared from the composing window. Yes, that is the bug I experience too, and Semme put his finger on my cellphone tethering as being the trigger. The preview window loses all content and goes blank or else logs me out 95% of the time w...

Pardon me...what do intubation and ventilators have to do with erectile dysfunction??? Mwaahahaaa, good question! :D Sounds a bit of a painful treatment for a pretty hard problem. I'm aware that in some European medical circles ED is used for emergency department...but here in the USA we are inunda...

I think this forum has been great.

Other fora have come and gone but so far this one continues to have a heartbeat.

Don't want to derail in any way but as far as Covid goes - it is a series of viral bioweapons that can be deployed as required to ensure governments have fuel to override personal freedoms. Expect ongoing intermittent releases, self-protect with vit C, D, Zinc, Glutathione, sunshine exposure and goo...

Well, i am living out of town again (no job thanks to COVID) and connecting via cellphone and the problems are back. Mid way during posting the forum tells me to log in again. Happens multiple times over a few minutes, then disappears for a while. Semme i think you were more right regarding it being...
