Re: [Bug 499570] Re: menubars not rendering

[mbana]

I'm afraid disabling and then attempting to install the version from the 
repo just doesn't work.  Precisely, it doesn't detect the official 
Ubuntu version.  Also ubuntu-desktop depends on Evince, so I can't 
uninstall Evince only.

This happened just after I updated from Jaunty to Karmic, and it never 
occurred before, say, installing the PPA.

The reason I have the other version is because it patches poppler or 
whatever engine is being used to support cleartype font hinting.  The 
default reader renders fonts really badly, and totally ignoring platform 
hint settings.  That package --- improved lcd filtering --- patches it.

% grep -i ppa.launchpad.net /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/improved-lcd-filtering/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/improved-lcd-filtering/ppa/ubuntu

Sorry about the late reply.

the menu in ff 3.5 has the same rendering as the desktop apps, it's only the
content of the page that seems to use a different rendering.  can others
confirm?

[Bug 379761] [NEW] FF 3.5 font hinting

[mbana]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

asac, ask that I create a new account and observe if the FF 3.5 uses the
gnome appearance settings, it seems that it doesn't.

I set my gnome settings to *hint full*.
http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/9426/74100265.png, FF 3.1 (on the
right) is hinting correctly.  F 3.5 isn't, it seems to be using *hint
slight*.  Have a look at the gnome taskbar and the FF 3.5 menu bar the
renderings clearly aren't the same.

Is the hinting hardcoded somewhere?

[mbana]

it's interesting to note that i used the jaunty instructions whilst on
intrepid and it worked, here's the link
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome#Ubuntu_Jaunty.

clearing out ~/.gconf isn't an option for me --- I don't want to lose my
settings.

[Bug 378111] [NEW] Xmonad refuses to start automatically on 9.04

[mbana]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xmonad

I can't seem to start xmonad automatically on the 9.04 Jaunty.

Before I upgraded (from Intrepid), I used the following commands to make
xmonad by default windows managers.

   $ gconftool -t string -s /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current 
xmonad
   $ gconftool -t string -s 
/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager xmonad
   $ killall metacity; xmonad &

These commands made my settings persistent, that is, it would load
automatically even after rebooting.  Unfortunately after updating xmonad
doesn't start automatically any more, and I'm forced to open up a
terminal and do

  $ xmonad &

which is highly frustrating.  I've followed this
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome#Ubuntu_Intrepid,
I've also asked on the #xmonad on freenode, but the only suggestions I
got were to clean ~/.gconf, which I obviously don't want to do, and
contact the packager.

At the moment I'm very tempted to just reformat and install intrepid,
since I'm also being constantly bugged about corrupt index from this
tracker app.

Thanks for your time.

Kind regards

can someone please just tell me how to stop this?  can i just uninstall

i'm so tempted to just reformat and use interpid instead, as i'm also
having troubles starting xmonad automatically.

btw, i'm shocked such an issue went unnoticed.

[Bug 309528] Re: [needs-packaging] please upgrade to 1.1

[mbana]

+1.  Just please make sure provide a feature complete package.  I'll
just repeat what I said above;

Please compile with syntax highlighting, e.g.,

  CABALOPTS="--user -fhighlighting" make && PREFIX=~ make install-exec

you might as well compile citeproc as well

  http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/INSTALL.html#TOC-optional-citeproc-support
 
if you need help building, just ping me.


Might as well syn with the svn repo, the current package is very dated.

[Bug 294860] [NEW] Syntax highlighting for Scala

[mbana]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: emacs-snapshot

Hi,

It'd be great if support for Scala came with the package.

Discussion; http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.scala/13176/focus=13177
Files; 
https://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/browser/scala-tool-support/trunk/src/emacs 
or 
http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/svn-repos/scala/scala-tool-support/trunk/src/emacs/

You should be able to clone the latter.

[Bug 190848] Re: font in terminal does not resemble font in preview

[mbana]

Yes, this became noticeable to me starting from Hardy, I REALLY hate the
way it's being done now i.e., setting the rendering settings in gnome
appearance doesn't change everything, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte/+bug/204854.

Here's a workaround for Intrepid 8.10, that seems to work for me;






rgb
false
true
true
hintfull


Having to hunt for a solution like this really time consuming.

Tobias: Thanks. Your package offers huge improvements over the standard
one, but, I use hintfull as my default hinting style and I'm curious as
to how your changes would look if you compiled with hintfull instead of
hintslight.

[mbana]

Can someone please explain in layman terms when subpixel rendering is
going to be available in evince (okular), the difference between a pdf
and the fonts which evince renders is huge.

I've started a thread on the Evince mailing lists;
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.apps.evince.general hopefully
it'll get fixed soon enough.

I'm also surprised more people aren't aware of this.
