<0> (It is worth noting that TrueType fonts can, more or less, contain built-in bitmap versions for on-screen display. This is why Microsofts TrueType fonts such as Verdana and Georgia look great on-screen without anti-aliasing, even though they only come in TrueType format, with no separate bitmap font files.)
<0> I read somewhere else that microsoft fonts looked great because of good hinting. and now I read that they use bitmaps
<0> wtf
<1> it's the hinting... the bitmap guy is smoking crack
<2> they're manually hinted for different sizes
<3> it is hinting
<3> but ttf was created by apple
<0> lol
<3> in fact steve jobs played a big part in it
<4> Renze: actually the bitmaps are also possible. KeithP IIRC has put .pcg fonts into a .ttf because of that.
<3> don't think ms did something right :)
<0> how can you be so sure?
<5> Anyone here know if kmail can be made to support the idle extension?
<6> hello all, does anyone know how to delete remote places in System->Remote Places? right-clicking on the name shows me a grayed-out Delete option. thanks.
<7> markob: wait a second
<7> markob: i dont see delete there at all :P
<7> but shift+del works
<6> xwizard: you rule! thanks a bunch
<7> your welcome
<6> /leave
<8> hi - is there some nice kde backup solution? i checked out konserve, but i need more features! i want to backup $HOME, but not $HOME/opt, no audio/video/image files and no files larger than 5mb - is there an app that can handle this? or do i have to create my filelist and a backup script myself?
<9> im using the ksensors applet, but its reporting a constant temp of 104 F over long periods of time , and wondering is this a known issue ??
<10> bauerbob: try Keep
<10> bauerbob: (i dunno if it has these features, haven't tried it)
<1> neighborlee: using acpi or lm_sensors as a source?
<9> I have no idea
<1> you didn't set it up?
<9> Renze, i see nowhere to set that
<1> neighborlee: is it under Mainboard Sensors or <some chip code> Sensors?
<9> Renze, I altered nothing on my mainboard so i presume its there.,..maybe ksenors just doens't like my asus mobo
<1> I'd look into ACPI not liking your mobo... ksensors just displays whatever it finds in the /proc subsystem
<1> whatever the fault, it is not ksensors - it is just the messenger
<9> ah
<1> neighborlee: in case you're interested, try this in a konsole: cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
<9> ok one sec
<9> 40 C yeah..
<8> _logixoul: thank you, but it doesn't have any exclusion-features :-(
<1> neighborlee: that is all ksensors is doing... reading that file and displaying the contents
<9> Renze, its not like I expect it to change all the time but I know it does vary from using it in windows...***uming windows's reading of it is correct ;)
<9> Renze, I should check asus's util disk to see if there is a util for linux which matches the windows one
<1> I wouldn't know, I haven't touched windows in 7 years
<9> well heh
<9> im hoping to avoid it soon , from learning about kexi ;))
<9> that will ROCK if I can sweep msaccess under the rug and never look back ;)
<1> Access is rather unpleasant
<9> heh well..it served its purpose for something better than quickbooks, BUT im glad kexi is here so I can possibly import it all and never look back :)
<1> kexi is still under construction, though
<9> yeah
<1> but if you use an established backend like mysql or postgresql, it's less of a problem
<9> looks promising at least
<9> ah ok
<11> hi pinotree. So you're the new Op eh?
<12> not so new...
<1> that's what chanserv is for :)
<11> ahm
<9> Renze, well at least ksenors works..when in past i've tried to run the sensor applet in gnome it always crashes...I guess its not maintained as well
<1> neighborlee: I would think it was trying to access lm_sensors and failing (lm_sensors is more accurate and can supply more information)
<9> Renze, yeah
<13> hey, is there a way to recover data that cut and paste killed
<13> so I hit cut on a lot of data that I want now, and was going to paste it in the next dir up, but I accidentally hit paste in the same dir
<13> and it wiped out about half the data
<13> before erroring on something else
<13> is there anyway to fix this?
<13> is anybody here?
<14> yep
<13> so can someone just tell me I am screwed so I can move on?
<0> you are totally screwed
<13> thats what I thought
<0> I don't understand what/how you did
<0> if you cut something, and then paste it, it'll tell you the file already exist
<7> hmm..
<7> yeah
<13> ok, so basically I am cleaning up my music drive so I highlight all of the folders
<7> yeah.. and you cleaned perfectly
<13> Ctrl-X
<13> then I hit Ctrl-V before I could move up
<0> same
<13> in the same dir
<13> and then it was like ok
<0> what?
<13> no prompt
<7> you should get "file exist" dialog
<13> I didn't
<7> in konqueror? are you sure?
<13> yes
<13> I get it when I try again
<13> and I probably would have
<13> but it errored out
<13> and I just lost all of my miles davis
<0> I certainly can't reproduce it
<1> all your Miles Davis?!? Ack!!
<13> yeah
<13> I can't either
<0> if you could provide us a test case, it would help
<13> but slocate shows that its screwed
<0> ha
<1> ...and I'm not being sarcastic. Miles Davis is fantastic
<13> seriously
<13> I mean it was a cut and paste deal with a crash in the middle
<13> and instead of fail safe, I got problems
<7> o_O
<7> what crash?
<0> lol
<13> just some scary error message, I forget
<13> not a full konq crash
<13> but enough
<7> something about "caught signal 11" ?
<13> not a segfault
<13> it was more of a can't rename file type deal
<13> and then some crashes in the background
<13> but I ***umed it was run of the mill
<7> (fireworks) :P
<13> yeah
<13> oh ****, I found it
<13> I hit paste while on a folder
<13> damn that scared me
<13> yeah
<7> aaaah!
<13> makes sense now
<7> rotflmao
<13> so its all in the folder
<13> yeah
<7> no.. i can't tak it
<7> take even
<7> shining resigned :D
<7> ok, i stopped laughing
<13> wow, and I am generally competent
<7> yeah, you should be responsible of making backups :D
<15> when i have questions about writing a program for KDE am i right here, or is there a developer-channel somewhere?
<1> there is #kde-devel also
<15> thx
<1> np
<16> is there anyway to toggle transparency mode?
<17> Kmplayer of Kaffiene?
<1> personal preference, but I prefer kmplayer
<7> baaaaah.. is anybody using baghira theme?
<1> using? no... I prefer a simpler look
<18> does this networks ound think work at all?
<19> hi
<19> konqueror cache broken images
<20> How can I install kde on gentoo? Should I try using Konstruct?
<21> emerge kde-meta
<20> I read something about that.
<1> why would you need to use konstruct?
<1> that's just silly
<20> Would a noob like me be able to do it you think?
<22> ol
<1> emerge kde-meta
<1> what's so hard about that?
