Fluppy 013

The problem is more subtle but exists in Seamonkey 2.0.8 as well.

Look at Jemimah's response. That fixed the problem.

OK, so adding fonts should work in Seamonkey as well as Chrome and Firefox?

Sounds simple ... and that worries me ...

I did it in Puppy 4.3.1 in Seamonkey and it worked. Not as many choices in the font properties in Seamonkey, but it helped a lot.

Please note the script to download the fonts. In Fluppy 006, I had to remove that extra " to get the script to work. In Puppy 4.3.1 on another computer, I had to leave it in. Go figure...

Yup, I'm on it.

If jemimah is on it than it is certain to be resolved!

Standing by for the CUPS fix ...

Are similar manual edits to the default config file for Seamonkey -

"minimum_font_size" and "minimum_logical_font_size" required?

If I do all of the following the problem should be solved, in both Fluppy 005 and in Lucid 5.1.1?

A handy little script to download MS fonts. Stolen from Browserlinux puplet.

#!/bin/sh

fonts_url="http://avi.alkalay.net/software/webcore ... 3.0.tar.gz"

DISPAY=:0.0 rxvt -e bash -c "

echo Please wait...
echo

wget $fonts_url
tar -xf webcore-fonts-3.0.tar.gz
mkdir /root/.fonts
cp webcore-fonts/fonts/* /root/.fonts
rm -r webcore-fonts
rm webcore-fonts-3.0.tar.gz

There is a mistake in the script above.

DISPAY=:0.0 rxvt -e bash -c "

should be

DISPAY=:0.0 rxvt -e bash -c

There is a stray " in the original script.

You don't have to do anything to a config file for Seamonkey.

You do both for for Fluppy, assuming you are using Chrome in it. I don't know about Lucid, but I would assume the same thing applies there if it uses Chrome or Seamonkey.

And "DISPAY" is correct and not "DISPLAY"?

Correct. Just copy and paste it into your terminal program. If it gives you an error, make a copy, remove the " and try again. Won't hurt anything.

It worked in both Floppy 005 and Lucid 5.1.1

Thanks to all!

I tweaked the Seamonkey guys to fix this.

BTW: It makes some other sites look nicer as well!

gnash is having trouble with http://syfy.com

Does anyone else see the problem with the video, the one at the top and full-width of the home page and the other down and to the right?

WDYT?

I'm not using Fluppy but noted this suggestion for adding fonts to Firefox. I've been disappointed by the default "draft" quality fonts in TXZ puppy so d/l this webcore-fonts file and unpacked it to the /root/.fonts directory and the very next page I clicked on came up in a new crisp-looking font! Thank you.

Chris.

You're welcome.

I just went here and of the live links over half of them required Silverlight - a proprietary MS app - the rest failed to work (blank pop-up). Any idea why, please?

I don't know if it is relevant but I am using gnash instead of Flash with Seamonkey 2.0.8 on my Samsung NB30 w.Fluppy 005 -- would an upgrade to 006 possibly sold the problem?

Jemimah, that Fluppy logo is GORGEOUS!

Is this instruction from Page 1 still correct, please?

(The iso has a problem at the moment, please use the zip file for a frugal install until I get a chance to fix it).

Yeah, you should mention it to afgs.

Yeah, I've been on vacation, and I thought I was going to get a lot done, but somehow it just didn't work out. I've got a new job starting tomorrow. Things might be in disarray for a while.

[edoc]

Congratulations on the new job!

Still on an unpaid writing-sabbatical here. I had hoped for some work on the side but the government-caused economic mess here has really dried-up PT work.

I will wait patiently .... errr ... OK, I will try to wait patiently ...

The fonts fix worked just great.

Thanks & Rgds Mike
