| renaldocreative | Hello everyone | 01:51 |
|---|---|---|
| coz_ | have to break for a bit , be back later | 18:06 |
| codepal | can anyone tell me which ubuntu system fonts, if disabled, will break my system? | 22:50 |
| coz_ | codepal, mm | 22:50 |
| coz_ | codepal, havent looked into that,, well hold on | 22:50 |
| coz_ | Ubuntu fonts,,sansm,, monospace are pretty much default right now | 22:51 |
| coz_ | codepal, if you right click the desktop change desktop background and click the fonts tab | 22:51 |
| coz_ | codepal, there is an application name font-manager this will list all fonts on the system and allow temporary disabling of fonts | 22:52 |
| coz_ | they can also be catagorized into sets/groups and entire sets can be disabled | 22:52 |
| codepal | coz_, just installed a font-manager from google code. | 22:53 |
| codepal | I think it's slightly better, hopefully, than the built-in one. | 22:53 |
| coz_ | codepal, welll is it named "font-manager" | 22:53 |
| codepal | I'm using 10.04, with it. - yup! | 22:53 |
| coz_ | codepal, ok then yes it is probably the best font manager i have used on linux | 22:54 |
| coz_ | codepal, with that ,, as I said, you can disable fonts on the fly | 22:54 |
| codepal | I've tried fontmatrix... | 22:54 |
| coz_ | yuck | 22:54 |
| codepal | unfortunately development isn't very up-to-date on that project... | 22:54 |
| coz_ | right | 22:54 |
| coz_ | font-manager is the best | 22:54 |
| codepal | yeah, I managed to screw my Opera fontcache somehow with it. | 22:55 |
| codepal | and Firefox. | 22:55 |
| coz_ | my opinion ,, howeve because of its options I find it very useful | 22:55 |
| codepal | right, any chance you've got a couple of font collections to share? | 22:55 |
| coz_ | codepal, I have a small set of fonts I always install hold on | 22:55 |
| codepal | I'm just starting to categorise my system installed fonts, then I'll drop my own in. | 22:56 |
| coz_ | codepal, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/myfonts.tar.gz | 22:57 |
| codepal | coz_, very kind of you, thanks! | 22:57 |
| coz_ | let me now when you download that so I can delee it | 22:57 |
| coz_ | delete | 22:57 |
| codepal | downed - thanks! | 22:58 |
| coz_ | ok | 22:58 |
| coz_ | codepal, once you put them into the directory you want ,, generally /usr/share/fonts/truetype , do you have the command to regenerate the font cache? | 22:58 |
| codepal | yup | 22:59 |
| coz_ | cool | 22:59 |
| codepal | apparently I can also do it via font-manager... awesome! | 22:59 |
| codepal | "Reset cache and reload application" - bottom right corner. | 23:00 |
| coz_ | yep :) | 23:00 |
| coz_ | you can also just double click a font and it will have an "Install" button there | 23:01 |
| codepal | nice... | 23:02 |
| codepal | I've got the latest font-manager, which are you using? | 23:02 |
| coz_ | let me check | 23:03 |
| coz_ | 0.5.7 | 23:03 |
| codepal | cool, we're on the same page then. | 23:04 |
| coz_ | codepal, I doubt there is a better manager I have tried them all,, and since I love fonts I had to find one that did just about everything I need and this one does | 23:05 |
| coz_ | especially the ability to disable fonts on the fly | 23:05 |
| codepal | coz_, just outta interest, what kind of design / projects are you involved with? | 23:05 |
| codepal | yeah, that's neato | 23:05 |
| coz_ | codepal, compiz cairo dock | 23:05 |
| codepal | predominately coding / theming? | 23:06 |
| codepal | or both? | 23:06 |
| coz_ | codepal, right now only graphics | 23:06 |
| coz_ | codepal, I do the ccsm icons,,,compiz textures,, splash screen, and 3d animated cube models,, on cairo dock mainly themes | 23:06 |
| codepal | cool coz_ !! | 23:08 |
| codepal | I'm trying to tidy up some ugly slideshows I did for a client. | 23:08 |
| coz_ | codepal, excellent | 23:08 |
| codepal | I've been told they're currently late 90's style.... | 23:09 |
| coz_ | :) | 23:09 |
| codepal | I'm probably a bit rusty | 23:09 |
| codepal | I'm jumping back into the game, was trained at a newspaper & commercial print business. | 23:09 |
| codepal | 1 old Mac with Photoshop and QuarkXpress on it. | 23:09 |
| codepal | and then IBM's with Photoshop & Quark. | 23:10 |
| coz_ | codepal, cool,, photoshop is almost always required:) | 23:10 |
| coz_ | I havent used quark express more than once that I can recall | 23:10 |
| codepal | yeh? - I was hoping gimp would replace it on my box... | 23:10 |
| coz_ | codepal, well sort of yes and no likely | 23:11 |
| codepal | OS don't let me down... | 23:11 |
| coz_ | codepal, most of my graphics work is done in inkscape a vector application | 23:11 |
| codepal | :D | 23:11 |
| coz_ | :) | 23:11 |
| codepal | nice, latest? | 23:11 |
| coz_ | other than the 3d animations mostly inkscape ,, well the latest in ubuntu repositories ,, I got tired of compiling the most recent :) | 23:11 |
| coz_ | takes way too long ,, about an hour | 23:11 |
| codepal | right, fair enough. | 23:12 |
| coz_ | inkscape 0.48 r9760 | 23:12 |
| coz_ | that was put out in march 22 of this year | 23:12 |
| coz_ | so not the actual development version | 23:12 |
| coz_ | I believe the current is 0.48.1 | 23:14 |
| codepal | close enough | 23:16 |
| codepal | I was gonna try compiling GIMP 2.8 on ubuntu 10.04.... | 23:16 |
| coz_ | codepal, mm not sure if it will,, I didnt realize 2,8 was available yet | 23:16 |
| coz_ | 2.8 rather | 23:16 |
| coz_ | codepal, if so it should have the single window mode which is very cool | 23:17 |
| codepal | dependencies might be a little difficult, libbabl is the problem. | 23:17 |
| coz_ | yeah | 23:17 |
| codepal | I have 2.7 installed, and it has the single window mode.. | 23:17 |
| coz_ | codepal, if on ubuntu there may be a ppa at some oint | 23:17 |
| coz_ | codepal, yes it does but not premanent default | 23:17 |
| codepal | unfortunately there is no way to set single as default | 23:18 |
| coz_ | 2.8 is suppose to be able to have single window mode as a default | 23:18 |
| codepal | yup | 23:18 |
| coz_ | which is what I am waiting for | 23:18 |
| coz_ | but as I said ,, I generally always use inkscape | 23:18 |
| codepal | which ver of ubuntu is your default? | 23:18 |
| coz_ | 11.04 | 23:18 |
| codepal | ah, right | 23:18 |
| codepal | I downgraded for my wacom. | 23:18 |
| codepal | since it's serial | 23:19 |
| codepal | I was using 11.04 | 23:19 |
| coz_ | oh ok because i have wacom here | 23:19 |
| codepal | nice - use it much? | 23:23 |
| codepal | I've only just got one, it's old A3 - intous2 | 23:23 |
| coz_ | codepal, I do for fine work, but in inscape I use the mouse | 23:24 |
| coz_ | codepal, wacom is good regardless of age :) | 23:24 |
| codepal | yeah, that's what I reckon. | 23:24 |
| codepal | I love it. | 23:24 |
| codepal | unfortunately it's not USB. | 23:24 |
| coz_ | codepal, yeah that I understand | 23:25 |
| coz_ | I wonder if it can be converted | 23:25 |
| codepal | I'm hoping as the wacom driver matures, and more people complain about the dropped support.... | 23:27 |
| codepal | that we'll get that serial support back. | 23:27 |
| coz_ | hopefully | 23:27 |
| codepal | I'll learn my lesson, stick to LTS, and watch developments | 23:27 |
| coz_ | codepal, yeah lts is generally the best way to go...unless you enjoy experimenting with some new things | 23:28 |
| codepal | I love experimenting | 23:28 |
| codepal | it's the best way to learn new things. | 23:29 |
| codepal | I'm a little bit of coder myself, just learning python @ openhatch.org | 23:29 |
| codepal | done a bit of compiling / patching / search for dependencies, so it doesn't scare me.. | 23:30 |
| codepal | coz_, nice talking to ya, and thanks for the fonts! | 23:30 |
| coz_ | ok | 23:31 |
