Re: RMS clarifies, backlash was unneeded
Moreover, he says the ban imposed on him is NOT Israel in its entirety, but only the Universities (the private Shenkar College seems kosher according to him). The weird but sensible thing to do is find lecture halls outside the universities and there would be no conflict. So Ariel College should be OK? ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Culmus fonts on WeTab (MeeGo)
Hello, So, I just bought a brand new WeTab, a device based on MeeGo. I bought it in Germany, and now I'm trying to get it to speak Hebrew. My first step is to install the culmus fonts so I can st least see Hebrew sites, but whatever I do, I can't get them recognized. What I did: I untarred the latest package (0.120) into /usr/share/X11/fonts/ and symlinked to it in /etx/X11/fontpath.d/ (the place indicated by `xset q`). I made sure that it has all permissions and ownerships like the other font dirs. Restarting the device, the font was not recognized. I tried using fc-cache on the directory, adding it with xset +fp ...; xset rehash, but the fonts don't show up neither in fc-list nor in xlsfonts. I also tried running mkfontsdir, which produced a fonts.dir file containing the string '0' and nothing more. How can I debug this? Is there any way I can have a verbose output of what directories are searched and why they are dropped? There's nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Or does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Yosef. PS - I'm doing all those experiments in a virtualbox image of the WeTab, I want to get it right before I abuse my actual hardware :) ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: Culmus fonts on WeTab (MeeGo)
The xset mechanism is obsolete during the last years and have been superseded by the concept of client side font. For Gtk and Qt this is handled by fontconfig . To see the fonts that fontconfig supports do: fc-list To add additional fonts, it is typically enough to copy the font to ~/.fonts . You can then check with fc-list that you managed to add the fonts. Another option is to make use of the fact that MeeGo is rpm based and just grab a rpm file from a different distribution and try to install it. Since there are no binary executables in the font rpms, it should be pretty straightforward unless the directory structure is different on MeeGo. Please give us a review of the WeTab and how you manage with Hebrew and BiDi.

Re: Culmus fonts on WeTab (MeeGo)
For cases where there is distro package, I'd recommend extracting fonts to ~/fonts/ and restarting the session. I'm using this way in order to install new fonts with Unicode 6.0 glyphs. 2011/5/30 Dov Grobgeld dov.grobg...@gmail.com The xset mechanism is obsolete during the last years and have been superseded by the concept of client side font.
