Re: horrible single `quotes' in font fixed

Hello all,
Hi!
I've used the font `fixed' as long as I can remember and I liked the
What's THE font fixed? Checking out xfontsel, there are 3 fonts named
fixed and a few other ones, which are fixed fonts
fact that the backtick (`) and the single quote (') had a symmetrical
appearance. Since I've been using xfree4 this has changed: the
backtick is slanted backwards and the single quote is completely
vertical. How horrible! Imagine how terrible my TeX-files will look!
IMHO, that's not a bad idea to be able to distinguish backticks from single
quotes ...
Can anyone tell me how to get my old fixed-font back, or how to `edit'
this font
1) Select a font with xfontsel and then paste your selection to ~/.Xdefaults,
like
rxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-*-normal-*-15-140-75-75-c-*-iso8859-1
man rxvt,xterm,X ...
Then your x-terminal-emulator (rxvt, like in the case above or xterm ...)
will start up with the chosen font.
2) Or if you are using a desktop environment like gnome or kde and its
respective terminal-emulator (gnome-terminal, konsole) choose your font
directly in the options menu
Furthermore:
3) Add a new font to X and update the font-path ... and step to 1) or 2)

Re: gnupg help
And then select the old uid with uid and delete it with deluid. Hubert But there is a problem with publically distributed keys, as someone (Ethan, I think) pointed out in the previous (Nietzsche: Die ewige Wiederkehr des Gleichen ...IIRC) thread. Here is the gnupg-handbook speaking: For local keyring management, deleting key components is a good way to trim other people's public keys of unnecessary material. Deleting user IDs and subkeys on your own key, however, is not always wise since it complicates key distribution. By default, when a user imports your updated public key it will be merged with the old copy of your public key on his ring if it exists. The components from both keys are combined in the merge, and this effectively restores any components you deleted. To properly update the key, the user must first delete the old version of your key and then import the new version. This puts an extra burden on the people with whom you communicate. Furthermore, if you send your key to a keyserver, the merge will happen regardless, and anybody who downloads your key from a keyserver will never see your key with components deleted. Consequently, for updating your own key it is better to revoke key components instead of deleting them.

Re: German keys on console
I never had to set those (locale environment variables) to get the german keyboard to work (I set them to get german messages, though), but it's quiet interesting to know more about internals. My question is now: When you are prompted to choose a keyboard, you could suppose it working after the selection, why to choose then, if it doesn't influence the behaviour of the keyboard at all? If you choose a non-US keymap, the appropriate LC-variable (the charmap?) should be set too, shouldn't it? PS: I hope it worked for you, Peter, à propos, I saw there are german and keyboard-How-To's at www.linuxdoc.org That's got nothing to do with the keymap (which is fine.) Two things are important: 1) in /etc/inputrc set 'convert-meta off' must be uncommented (it maybe by default in 2.2r1, it wasn't in tc3. The metakey still works fine, BTW) 2) The environment variable 'LANG' must be set to, i.e., 'de_DE', which also lets LC_CTYPE(the culprit) LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY LC_MESSAGES default to 'de_DE'. If you're like me you'll like to override at least LC_MESSAGES back to 'en_US'.

Re: German keys on console
The keymap that should be loaded is /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap.gz Normally with kbdconfig you can browse through the directory of /usr/share/keymaps/ and choose the one you need. If you are using console-tools after the installation it should get your /etc/console-tools/default.kmap.gz (Analogously with kbd -- /etc/kbd/default.kmap.gz, I think) To get a german keymap for X you you could use a tool like XF86Setup or xf86config I just installed debian, potato, on a new comp. Now I cannot use the German keys a u s (latex-babel notation) neither on the console nor with X. I've choosen qwertz-nodeadkeys at installation and several time with kbdconfig. Curiously the z and ykeys are changed. sorry for that question: Did you hit qwerty when you were asked for qwertz or qwerty? It's a bit funny, because you must hit the wrong to get the right one ... Thanks for any hints... Peter Over here are some german debian-gurus, so hopefully you problem will get solved ... A humble literary critic, enthusaistic about debian, but still only enthusiastic ...

Re: German keys on console
thats what i have done. sveral times, with several latin-1 packages.
Everytime the same: The testing works o.k. but the console doesn't want it..
What does that mean?
When configuring the keymap with kbdconfig you hit y after the prompt to load
the german keymap and then at the shell-prompt you can't get ä,ö...?
It is there:
Uranus:/home/peter# ls /etc/kbd/
config default.kmap.gz
There is always one, but has to be the right one
Yes, I know. I copied XF86cpnfig from an other installation with the same
graf.-card + monitor and it don't work. I also have run XF86Setup again and
again, nothing works.
Run XF86Setup from scratch and it should work
Well emacs, at least, works o.k. I don't know why...
?
So it works?
Peter
MH
PS: You could compare (diff) the default.kmap.gz I sent to you, with the old
one

Re: filtering out ads
Hi Owen! Why don't you use junkbuster as filtering proxy?

Junkbuster is an instrumentable proxy that filters the HTTP stream between web servers and browsers. It can prevent ads and other unwanted junk from appearing in your web browser. MH Interested in hearing different strategies for blocking ads. Presently I use a mixture of input-chain firewall rules and redirection in my /etc/hosts file. Since I'm running DNS for my LAN, is there a way to set it up to block ads? Also, there's one ad system I haven't figured out how to block: I've seen many ads that have URLs ads.admonitor.net but nslookup claims this is a nonexiststant host/network, so I can't add it to my firewalling rules.
