Do you mean the firefox fonts or the terminal font? terminal font is
terminus, the firefox font is from ubuntu.

So is it because wmii not being stable enough or it's more of 
organizational problem?


I really believe that it would be a good idea to cut off another release 
 so various distributions can put it into their's packaging systems and 
therefore make life easier for end users (like me).

Thanks Anselm.  That was my suspicion.  It seems that the ubuntu people have 
applied ClearType patches (to libcairo perhaps?) that, imo, drastically improve 
the appearance of fonts on LCDs.  I'm using dwm on a customized Debian stable 
setup, and I cannot get GTK apps to look good, whatever I do.

Seems like the solution is to start with a Ubuntu base.

[dev] small dist

2009-08-10 Thread hiro
I'm playing around with some set-top box.
The catch is: it only has around 30mb of flash.
So in order to load up the prism54 wireless drivers I think I need an
extremely small dist.

I haven't even tried to trim down my normally used debian base system
(which is rather extremely bloated for it's functionality), but am
already building a custom small linux kernel at this moment.

Eventually I'll be running 9vx on it, so I will be trying to hide as
much of linux as I can. And I hope it will be possible to use 9base
instead of busybox, but I'm just dreaming, and uneducated so far.

Any recommendations for a small and simple system? (Keep in mind my
fastest machine is over 8 years old, so don't make me compile
everything myself please)

Thanks

Looks horrible here, it's a little like an lsd trip.

You want build router? If yes, take a look at OpenWRT (http://openwrt.org).
This is embedded distribution especially for routers with very nice web 
interface.

Sorry about my english.
Greetings.

[dev] [surf] seg fault when opening iGoogle page

2009-08-10 Thread Julien Pecqueur (JPEC)
Hi,

I'm using surf since 2 weeks and i really like it simplicity and
efficiency. I found a bug today : 
* open iGoogle page
* add the official google calendar widget
=> surf seg fault

So i try to open directly the Google Calendar web page and i have the
same bug.

Maybe the bug come from webkit?

My surf version :

 [$]-(j...@archbox)-(~)-> surf -v
 surf-0.0, © 2009 surf engineers, see LICENSE for details

I installed surf via the aur PKGBUILD : aur/surf-hg 40-5.

My webkit version is : extra/libwebkit 1.1.10-2.


Oh i forgot i run archlinux x86_64.

[dev] [last] lastfm interface

2009-08-10 Thread Yoshi Rokuko
a few days ago i tried out last[1]. i found out that it uses factotum
and i managed to give factotum my lastfm-id but the sourcecode and/or
the lastfm API is to complex for me to know how to use last[1].

i know inside last[1] there is the help command, but how do i set a
station with the station command? i tried a few things but nothing
worked out for me.

regards, y0shi

Definitly the bug is inside libwebkit 1.1.10-2. I installed midori (a
browser which use libwebkit too) and he closes when i open the igoogle
page.

I'll try to install a SVN version of libwebkit...
