Re: Why Are Some Fonts So Bad ?
It's fully legal to use them w/o Windows. You can also redistribute them provided you don't take them out of the self-extracting .exe files.

IMO it all would be a little less confusing if KControl detected this and wouldn't let you choose anti-aliasing if it's not compiled in. * Nick Boyce [Mon, 05 Jan 2004 05:06:15 +]: > One weird thing is that if I start a Konsole "Linux console" session, > then I always get this error : > Font '-misc-console-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-iso10646-1' > not found. > I don't have the xfonts-konsole package installed, so maybe that's the > cause of this error. Definitely.

Anti-aliasing is definitely enabled in Kcontrol - see my screenshot of yes, you've enabled AA, but you also seem to be excluding the font range 8-15pt and your selected fonts lie in this range (10-12 pt). try adjusting "exclude range" to something like 6-9pt (or completely disable it). -- Frederik Dannemare

Re: k3b burning audio discs
2004. január 05. 14:54 dátummal [EMAIL PROTECTED] ezt írta: > Any ideas, anyone? > I have had this problem too, but figured out fortunately. I'm writing my solution, but that doesn't mean, that it will be working for you. First of all if you compiled k3b from sources it is usefull to do it with --enable-debug, and when you installed it, run k3b from konsole. Then k3b will put a lot of useful info to the konsole. You should check k3b's setup too. Settings -> Configure K3b -> Plugins. If you don't see there any plugins, then that is the problem. For ogg decoding you have to have ogg+vorbis installed, and for mp3 decoding you have to have the mad libraries. And don't forget that if you compile k3b from sources, you also have to have those lib's devel packages. But for wav decoding, you don't need anything, k3b has a wav loader included in it. But you must see the K3b Wave Decoder in the above mentioned K3b plugins window to be able to load wav files. So if you don't have anything in that plugin list, then you probably installed the libs to the wrong dir, or there aren't any plugins at all :) You should search you k3b prefix for *libk3bwavedecoder*. If you found it, then make sure it's directory is in you LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or in the etc/ld.so.conf. If you found it but still nothing, and k3b doesn't load the plugins, then try to symlink them into the kde's libdir (usually /usr/local/kde/lib), and see if it works. If it is working, then maybe you've installed the libraries to the wrong directories. K3b is looking for it's plugins in it's $PREFIX/lib. The default prefix during the ./configure is /usr/local/kde. And if you don't add any additional arguments to the configure, then the libraries will be installed to /usr/local/kde/lib, and k3b will try to find it's plugins in there. You have to add that dir either to you LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, or to your /etc/ld.so.conf (and sometimes run the ldconfig program as root after this). Then k3b will recognise it's libs. If you add some extra options to k3b's configure (i.e.: --exec-prefix), then watch out, k3b will be looking for it's libs in the $PREFIX/lib, but the libs will be installed to $EPREFIX/lib. I've already mentioned that the default prefix is /usr/local/kde, thus you have to specify another argument --libdir=/usr/local/kde/lib, and then the libraries will be installed to the correct dir, and k3b will recognise them. Hope this helps. bye, Daniel > - Forwarded message from Szymon Janc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - > > Envelope-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: Szymon Janc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: David Bishop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: k3b burning audio discs > > Dnia nie 4. stycznia 2004 18:39, napisa?e?: > > Did you ever get an answer, or figure out what was wrong with k3b? > > I.e., when trying to add .ogg or .mp3 files to an audio disc fails with > > an 'unsupported format' message?

Hi, I am the maintenair of k3b. I recognize that this problem is due to a packaging problem. This night version 0.10.3-4 will enter into sid. It purpuses is to solve the k3bsetup problem. Tomorrow, I will create a new package which will solve this problem. Sorry for the annoyance. But please don't run ./configure && make && make install : This will broke your system !

Select a thread chain in Kmail ?
Hi all, I've been using Kmail for 1 day, and i've just configured it... But I want to know if it's possible to select a whole thread chain (like for exemple with Thunderbird - just a click on a small icon next to the first thread of the list select it and all the thread under). Then, I could easily (or move) delete all the messages in that chain. Thx in advance ^_^ -- Alain. * Please remove ".no-spam" in mail adress to reply
