i see, a real downside.disciple wrote:Ah, looks like it might take a while to get there.
- It doesn't support javascript yet. Either there was a patch to support javascript, or the patch that extracted some urls or something from javascript worked quite well... the dillo version in old Puppies works for sites like megaupload.com (actually, it is the best browser to use, because it doesn't support flash to show the adds, and it ignores the instruction to make you wait to see the download link). The current version doesn't work.
this is still experimental (obvious). i turned it on to test a little. would you prefer a second package with the 'feature' turned off?- It fails to log on to some websites that the gtk version could (in addition to popping up multiple dialogues telling you that the server is not authenticated, instead of just one).
In Dillo's preferences file tell it to use Times New Roman, Arial and Courier? (Or some other fonts that you have and like). Of course your fonts will still look pretty rubbish until you disable all forms of antialiasing and enable BCI hintingThere must be a simpler fix out there somewhere that would work in all puppies.
yes and this murga-linux forum fonts look like crap, well that is because murga-linux uses "MS fontsTrebuchet MS"disciple wrote:In Dillo's preferences file tell it to use Times New Roman, Arial and Courier?

Interesting... but does that mean you actually have that font installed? Otherwise it would use your default font.well that is because murga-linux uses "MS fontsTrebuchet MS"
Not sure on that disciple, well with dillo anyways, I set the fonts with the pet I provided above, all the sites fonts looked great, but when I went to www.murga-linux.com the fonts were terrible, that's what gave me the notion to see what is up with the fonts on this forum.disciple wrote:Interesting... but does that mean you actually have that font installed?

Yes, I recall what they were for .
The patches on http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...atch-splitted/ are for the following:
dillo-0.8.6-file.patch - Make opening local files work (code: loads the file in its entirety to memory and feeds that to the parser; not optimal but was the easiest route)
dillo-0.8.6-iliad-support.patch - Page scroll with left mouse button instead of middle button; this is: when you drag the page with the stylus, it scrolls (code: swap the references to left mouse button with the ones for middle mouse button in some places; add the list of changes in the about page).
dillo-0.8.6-next-v3.patch - If you press the next button (right arrow in the toolbar) and there is no next page in the page cache history, it will try to guess the next page and load it; did it to act as a rough comic book viewer (code: look for the last number in the URL, increment it and try to load that page)
dillo-0.8.6-utf8-support-v2.patch - Some support for utf-8 pages, so that it can show properly the Spanish Wikipedia; only supports the latin1 part of utf-8, and only transforms the pages that announce themselves as utf-8 (code: if the page advertises itself as utf-8, convert the latin1 utf-8 codes to latin1 codes; latin1 is iso-8859-1 codepage, the one supported in dillo 0.8.6).
And that's all. The patches are simple but not trivial. They just make dillo more usable on the iliad (at least for me .
So, apply them to your build (they don't cause unstabilities AFAIK ). Also, you should modify the about page in dillo-0.8.6-iliad-support.patch to note your changes/additions .
P.S.: About the dillo2 port: the fixed font is installed (the X server won't start without it), so that error is strange.
P.S.2: Ups! Those posts are material for the devel's corner...
Worked a charm without reboot, thanks.upnorth wrote:Here is the simpler and smaller fix for the "dot matrix font" pita. Assuming the default /etc/fonts of a standard puppy: Insert this code into your /etc/fonts/local.conf file just above the </fontconfig> tag.......
In some situations, a reboot may be necessary.
What exactly does not work? Are you seeing little square instead of
tamil characters?
In that case you can try to install FreeSans and FreeSerif, which
are part of the freefont package.
Then change the fonts in your dillorc to:
font_serif="FreeSerif"
font_sans_serif="FreeSans"
Note however, that you might also need to force the use of these new
default fonts in case the webpage chooses a different font
explicitely. To do that add e.g.
* {font-family: sans-serif !important}
to your ~/.dillo/style.css file.
Hope that helps,
