RTFed Word Processor

#1 Post by Smithy »

JRB put this nice little Word Processor in his Precise Light Puppy.
Only tried exporting a PDF so far, and that works fine. There are other export options.
I think this should work with most Puppies. Not bad for a 2mb word processor! Good for the minimalists :)

Hi Smithy.

Good job!

Where did you find it?

I looked for a repo for it last week and could not find it anywhere.

BFN.

Related thread exists here
The download link to version 1.4 is dead and it appears that the author abandoned his project.

RTFed Word Processor Many thanks to webmayo

By following the link in MochiMoppel's post, it appears that webmayo is RTFed's author of the original pet. Thanks, webmayo.

Hello all.

Which in essence means Smithy reconstituted it from jrb's Precise_Light?
In any case, again, thanks, Smithy.

I wonder if webmayo would consider reactivating his link. ( If he still comes
on this forum and happens to read this thread. )

BFN.

Yes I reassembled it from JRB's Puppy, because I couldn't find anything on RTFed.
Hadn't even heard of it before JRB mentioned it.
From that post it seems Webmayo was happy with what it did for his purposes.
I can't seem to do the extra exports, I installed just 'unoconv' but I think there is another 150mb or so related that may need to be added, not too sure about that though.
RTF, PDF and HTML ok.

General question. Anyone know why, when one inserts a couple of image files of 313k and 66k, does a bit of writing above and below the images
and then saves as an rtf or pdf, the file ends up as a massive 17mb or more?
This applies to textmaker too.
But if one uses Bill's (rcrsn51) Peasy PDF on said saved 17mb RTF file, it sqooshes it down to 665k?

Oh and Musher, if you have a good little fonts pack, that would be cool. Not too many, just a few choice copperplates, cartoon,
book of kells etc. Only asking because I've seen some nice screenies on your alternative desktop managers over the months.

This RTFedit app is holding up well so far. Gawd knows what it's gonna take to get the extra exports working :) =fat libre.

For perhaps close to all known available text editors and simple word processors and even simple office suite (like Siag office) have fun browsing here:

Ted was a good one for RTF. At 3mb has tables, images, font options include even superscript & strikethrough.

Packages below should work as is in Tahr/Xenial - other pups may need libpcre.so.3 / libpaper.so.1 / libtiff.so.4 (use versions from Xenial 32/64).

Thanks for the compliment, Smithy.

I have a few I collected myself, that you'll find here. But I must
confess that I shamelessly plundered Moat's collection of fonts in his
Chloe_Pup_R27* and his Chloe_X-Tahr_2.0r9 puplets.

Maybe PM him? He's got an eye for good-looking fonts, and for nice
backgrounds too, BTW.

IHTH.
