[OT] Need more info about fonts
by Ronald Wiplinger 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

Hi, I got an interesting project to do, and it is somehow boring to do that by hand: I should make a bitmap of characters with 32 x 16 pixel of each character, of different fonts and that in 2 byte characters or unicode. The suggested way was to open Windows (!!!) use paint and make a new area of 32x16 pixel and "write" with the text tool the character, and save it. I believe that there is a simpler way, maybe there is a way to use the font file directly to "convert" it into that *.bmp format, and if that really does not work, than I would like to have some makro, that could make that for me overnight. Does anybody have more info about fonts, or know where to search about it, or does anybody know a way to make that automatically? Any suggestion welcome! bye Ronald

Hi Maura I see two possible problems: 1) You need to install gimp-devel 2) You need to install flex (This is the one that made the configure script fail) My workstation that the printer is attached to is running RedHat7.2, and my Server is running SUSE, so I have not compiled the gimp-print on SuSE, but I have now run the configure on my SuSE box and it is OK. Funny that SuSE do not install flex as part of the default development tools?? (I also had to install it now) Remember to run the configure with the cups option: ./configure --with-cups Hope this helps :-) PS: I see you had some problems to find the gimp-print download page. I have downloaded the source some time ago, but now I cannot even get to that page.. Glad that you did find it in the end. Good luck Let me know if you have further problems, then I will install the whole thing on my SuSE box and see if I can get my Epson to work on SuSE -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf <-------------------------------------------------> < The box said: Requires Windows 95 or better... > < So I installed Linux > <------------------------------------------------->

According to the message source of several messages, they were treated as 31.12.2002 in American timeline (PST they say - Pacific S.. Time ?? minus eight hours compared to GMT) which then already was 01.01.2003 in CET. So they apparently switched to 2002 when 2002 took place in Europe, but left the date to be the 31st of Dezember as it was there in the US ....

Volker, Sorry, that should have said "HowTo" not scripts. My apologies. I only got 3.0 because it was offered for $99 USD as an upgrade from express as they will stop production of it. I did use the first portion of your HowTo to get the kernel version and modules right. Best Regards and Happy New Year!!!

Where did elm go?
by Brett Delmage 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

Did an elm mailer package disappear sometime since 7.0 or am I stupid and just not seeing it? I just upgraded the server and one user complained it was missing so I copied it from the 7.0 filesystem for now. [elm sucks. But got to keep my users (and wife!) happy...] Happy New year all! --- Brett Delmage brett(a)cfsc.ottawa.on.ca --- o --- \\_/\ (*) `(*)

Fetchmail question about copying to another user
by Jaakko Tamminen 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

Hi I know that in some earlier version of fetchmail I was able to get POP3 mail from ISP and copy it to 2 different local user. This does not seem to be possible with the fetchmail that comes with SuSE 7.2. Is that so, or am I missing something? I try to set it up also with webmin, that has the function too, but it only get the e-mails for the last user on the list. Jaska.
