Bug#371870: xprint: all printer entries in mozilla are gone

2007-04-20 Thread Andrew T. Young
Isn't the problem here that all the xprint stuff was removed from iceape?
(See the discussion in bug report 301649 about this.  If that's the
reason, I suppose this bug should be re-filed against the mozilla
transition package, for failing to add the printers to the proper
configuration files for iceape.

I have the same problem since upgrading from sarge to etch.  I have
searched the mozilla directories without success to try to find how to add
printers manually.  Maybe somebody who understands the inner workings of
this system can figure out how to add printers to the browser.  It would
be *nice* if this were available as part of the edit preferences
dialogs.

Bug#335064: xbase-clients: mkfontscale installs faulty fonts.scale for ttf-bitstream-vera pkg.

2005-10-21 Thread Andrew T. Young
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1
Severity: important


After installing the ttf-bitstream-vera font package,
I find that X gives a could not init fontpath element
error message for the TrueType fonts.  This appears to be
caused by faulty fonts.dir and fonts.scale files created in
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType directory; they have
blanks instead of underscores in the XLFDs for the Bitstream fonts.
The blanks make X barf when it tries to set up these fonts.

I have inspected the defoma hintfile installed with the Bitstream
package.  It gives the font families as Bitstream-Vera-Sans,
Bitstream-Vera-Serif, etc., which is (I think) reasonable.
Probably the problem could be avoided for *this* font by changing
the hyphens to underscores; but it seems to me the X utilities
ought to be written to handle such cases gracefully, rather than
making everybody who packages a font worry about replacing (normal)
hyphens with (ugly) underscores in the defoma hintfiles.  That's why
I'm filing this bug against xutils (which provides mkfontdir)
and xbase-clients (the package that provides mkfontscale).

It may turn out that both these programs use some common xlib
function to parse fontnames and font-family names, in which case
this bug should be reassigned to the appropriate package.

Note, by the way, that defoma's Defoma::Id module correctly
handles these fonts, installing XLFD names with underscores in the
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/id-cache file.

A further complication is that Bug 219854 says that TrueType fonts
should be using mkttfdir rather than mkfontdir, and that a bug
report should be filed against font packages that violate this.
This is evidently the case with the Bitstream font package; I see my
system doesn't even have the fttools package installed, which should
have been a dependency of the font package if it had used mkttfdir.
It remains to be seen whether mkttfdir handles font-family names
containing hyphens correctly

Bug#296021: xbase-clients: xgamma fails,gives error message

2005-02-19 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.1.0-16woody5
Severity: normal

xgamma's man page says it will show the current gamma value if no option
is given with the -gamma flag.  I was unable to get it to do this.

Typing just xgamma with no arguments gave:

Xserver is running an old XFree86-VidModeExtension version (0.8)
Minimum required version is 2.0


Looks as if the clients are out of step with the server in woody.

Bug#181423: xbase-clients: X screws up keyboard rate in consoles

2003-02-17 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.1.0-16
Severity: normal

I've noticed for some time now that after I've used X and then switch
back to a console with ctrlaltFn, the keyboard rate and delay
have been reset to Debian's default values (long delay, fast rep rate)
instead of the IBM defaults that I prefer, and which I normally set up
by using kbdrate from a console with no arguments.

In my .xsession file, I *do* call  xset r rate 250 11  to re-establish
my preferred rate and delay.  This makes the keyboard behave properly
in an xterm or rxvt window; but it does not prevent X from messing up
the consoles.

Not understanding the insides of the X window system, I don't even know
which client is likely to be the culprit here.  For a while, I had the
impression that things like netscape or ghostview were at fault, but
test show that the keyboard is messed up by X as soon as it comes up,
before I've entered any commands to X from the keyboard.

It seems to me that even if X has to play with the keyboard for its own
internal reasons -- something that does not seem logically necessary,
but suppose it is -- then at least the use of the xset command ought to
leave things in the intended state when I go back to a console.

Bug#181423: xbase-clients: X screws up keyboard rate in consoles

2003-02-17 Thread Andrew T . Young
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.1.0-16
Severity: normal

I've noticed for some time now that after I've used X and then switch
back to a console with ctrlaltFn, the keyboard rate and delay
have been reset to Debian's default values (long delay, fast rep rate)
instead of the IBM defaults that I prefer, and which I normally set up
by using kbdrate from a console with no arguments.

In my .xsession file, I *do* call  xset r rate 250 11  to re-establish
my preferred rate and delay.  This makes the keyboard behave properly
in an xterm or rxvt window; but it does not prevent X from messing up
the consoles.

Not understanding the insides of the X window system, I don't even know
which client is likely to be the culprit here.  For a while, I had the
impression that things like netscape or ghostview were at fault, but
test show that the keyboard is messed up by X as soon as it comes up,
before I've entered any commands to X from the keyboard.

It seems to me that even if X has to play with the keyboard for its own
internal reasons -- something that does not seem logically necessary,
but suppose it is -- then at least the use of the xset command ought to
leave things in the intended state when I go back to a console.
