Re: Pidgen font

[Eion Robb]

Hi David,

If you just want to change how things are displayed in Pidgin, the easiest
way is through the Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin in Tools->Plugins.  If
it's about the formatting you're sending, the default format is set in
Tools->Preferences->Conversations->Default Formatting, and can be modified
on a per-conversation basis in the conversation window (Options->Show
Formatting Toolbars in the conversation window will toggle the formatting
options)

Not all protocols will support all formatting options (some might just
support bold/italics but others support font size and/or colour), and many
protocols don't support any (eg IRC, Facebook)

Which protocol are you trying to use that you're not able to send formatted
messages on?

Cheers,
Eion

Re: inquiry: accessibility

Hi Ms. Hahn!

I think what you are describing is doable using Pidgin (with a potential
fallback on writing a plugin or modifying the source code which is under an
open source licence) and that Pidgin should run fine on Windows 8.1 and Windows
10.

That put aside, pidgin being a gtk+ app may not play nice with Windows'
accessibility features and you may wish to look at more native Windows instant
messaging clients such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_IM and
http://www.miranda-ng.org/en/ which may work better for you in this respect.

Please reply to all recipients.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

inquiry: accessibility

[Allicia Hahn]

I've not found the information I'd like to know.
I suspect you are aware, but maybe not, that the free Yahoo Messenger and Aim 
chats have been so stripped down of features that for anyone with any type of 
disability, particularly visual, they are no longer universally friendly chat 
programs.

We are on the hunt for a free chat program that will allow us to modify it to 
our needs. 
We need to be able to use large fonts, colored text, and optional change of 
color backgrounds (i.e white text, black background and vice-versa). We all 
have visual and physical challenges, and we rely heavily on using online chats 
to stay in contact. 
Is any of this possible with your program. We also have either windows 8.1 or 
windows 10 OS, so is Pidgin compatible with them?

Thank you for taking the time to read this inquiry, and we look forward to 
hearing from you.Sincerely,
A. Hahn.

Pidgen font

[David Nelson]

Hi, I'm new to the list and I'm not sure I'm writing to the correct list.
Would someone please advise me if I should direct this to another place.

I'm new to Pidgen and do not understand preferences concering font.  How do
I adjust font so that face, color, and size appear to the recipient the way
I set them?

Also the same question to appear in my Pidgen window in IMs sent.
