Re: Looking for a good "default" font (small 'L' vs. capital 'i' problem)

2023-08-19 Thread Nate Bargmann
For a proportional font, Verdana, Regular seems to come close with, it seems to me, good differentiation between l, I, and 1. O and 0 are a bit problematic as 0 is not dotted or slashed but is more of an ellipse. On this GNOME desktop the interface is set to Cantarell, Regular, and while it has a

how to clean approx cache?

2023-08-19 Thread mailinglists
The approx package (proxy server for Debian archive files) misses cache cleaner. Some manpages mention approx-gc [1]. But this program has disappeared for unknown reasons. A cron job is provided that purges packages older than 1,000 days. But that is not a good solution. I now have several duplicat

2023-08-19 Thread Russell L. Harris
I am a XFCE user with a similar taste in fonts, but I have no need for umlaut. I am concerned primarily with the distinction between numeral 1 and lower case L. And I loathe fonts in which the numerals 3, 5, 6, and 9 are not radically different. Back in the 1970's, I ran across a detailed st

Hi all, I'm unsatisfied with the default sans font in debian for use in the graphical user interface (in my case XFCE). My main concern with the default sans font (I guess it's Bitsream Vera, but that doesn't really matter) is the the small 'L' and the capital 'i' look the same (mostly). Everyon

I think it is kind of like buying a new ANYTHING. Some folks will buy a new model as soon as it comes out. Some will wait a few months to see if anyone else is having problems with it. Whether it is a vehicle, electronic device, refrigerator, MS-Windows, new online service, etc. As more folks u
