pWidgets 2.5.8
Check '/usr/share/fonts/default/TTF' contains the Ionic font. If not try reinstalling Pwidgets. Or rename the pwidgets-0.4.pet to pwidgets-0.4.pet.tar.gz and extract, find the font in the resulting pwidgets-0.4 directory and copy it to /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF and restart Pwidgets. Hope that helps.tasmod wrote:Anyone had trouble with the fonts ?
I followed the instructions to load and tested Abiword where they work OK.
However they will not work with digital clock. It's set for ionic but seems to display DejaVu.

Hi Micko,
Yes it's there. It works in Abiword OK.
As a test I rechecked the minixcal clock in the tray and changed the font in .jwmrc for it to ionic but no joy, it just won't show up.
It's in /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF along with the others. I changed to other fonts and they show OK
Zigbert says they show up in Abiword when installed and that proves true.

Try copying your fonts to /root/.fonts directory - if it isn't there, create it. I installed the fonts that Zigbert supplied about 3 times and nothing. Then I manually put them in the /root/.fonts directory and voila!tasmod wrote:It is in the directory as :
ionic.ttf is this correct rather than IonicCharge.ttf
Hope that helps.

In the main post, zigbert said to run these 2 commands in terminal to update installed fonts
Code: Select all
mkfontscale /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF
And just double check that 'ionic.ttf' is in /usr/share/fonts/default/TTF

Making a .fonts and copying them across did nothing.
I ran the commands again to be sure.
ionic is in correct location. Paths correct.
Strangely it will show up in Abiword font menu as a choice and will print OK.
I tried the tray clock font change and it did not recognise it, but it would change font size according to instruction line

Try running 'pwidgets' from the command line. Type in a terminal. The GUI will show up. Select only the digital clock. Scan the output of the terminal carefully to see if there are any errors.
Also check the 'config file' for the digital clock.
It should look like this
We will figure this out!
Code: Select all
pwidgets
Also check the 'config file' for the digital clock.
It should look like this

Can someone tell me how to make a widget that will look like A) The System monitor at the top and B) The shutdown menu at the bottom of the attached screenshot of my Windows Sidebar? Also, would be nice to figure out how to change the background of the weather for what the weather is like outside. Though that may well be a far cry into the future..

Re: conky config cpu-ram bar
@Evil20071:trio wrote:as the widgets keep building up, i made one pwidget item which consist of cpu-ram monitor in bars. it will give more space for pwidgets user to show more widgets on the list. Anyhow for you experienced users, this is just a child's drawing, but for new users, just copy the lines below and save it in the /root/.pwidgets/configs/ , you'll get a new widget instantly on the list when you start pwidgets control panel from the desktop start menu. and you can get so much more by making conky config files like this by yourself, please look up on the net....

If you want, you could try what I already posted before, change x to your network like eth0
There are some pretty fancy Conky scripts out there - see http://www.gnome-look.org for some examples (search 'conky') - but the most worthwhile of these unfortunately use Python scripts that would add a motza to Puppy to support. Sorry about that. Conky itself is limited to text based stuff - fonts and ASCII text graphics characters AFAIK.Evil20071 wrote:Can someone tell me how to make a widget that will look like A) The System monitor at the top and B) The shutdown menu at the bottom of the attached screenshot of my Windows Sidebar?
