Way to read from USB port with Rev (Bar Code Reader)

2007-01-14 Thread Peter Alcibiades
say, can you tell me which barcode reader you've tried this with? Sure, its a Datalogic Gryphon. Any reader which uses a Y cable to connect should work however. The only problem I can see with this method is that you have to ensure that the window in which your data is going to be entered

Re: Fonts

2006-12-27 Thread Peter Alcibiades
The Linux font problem appears to be with Debian only. I took Fedora off my laptop, where all the Fedora fonts were usable, and put Etch 32 bit on instead, at which point once again only two (bitstream charter and courier 10 pitch) work correctly, as posted earlier. There is probably a simple

Fonts on Linux yet again

2006-12-20 Thread Peter Alcibiades
I confess to being baffled by the following. Installed RR on my old Fedora Core 6 P3 laptop. The fonts work fine. But FC6 surely uses the most recent version of Xorg etc? So in that case, how come it works, if the explanation for its not working on Debian etch is that RR is using some old

I can only report what actually happens. Are we doing the same thing? I am running 2.6.1 IDE and engine on Linux - specifically on AMD64, Etch. I can't test compiling a stack on another platform, but with Linux as the target, not having a Windows or Mac installation that will do that. The

This may not mean a whole lot if you are not using RR for Linux, because you probably have all the artwork and fonts in the world to choose from and are wondering what on earth the problem could be! There are two problems, and they are identical whether you use the MC or the RR IDE. The first

Hi. Hope this is not too silly a question. Does Revolution use the system fonts, or does it ship with its own, and if so, where are they? And if it uses system fonts, where does it expect to find them? There are three reasons for asking. (1) When you create (eg) a button, the font sizes

Thank you both so much for replying. I've actually posted to bugzilla about this, but then had the second thought that maybe the list will have a simple answer. Yes, there is something odd about the font list as revealed by put. Which is the same incidentally as the font list offered by the

Well, based on the mentions here I popped over to Amazon and had a copy shipped over. Don't hold your breath for this to do any good for Revolution. Or Programming. Or even Computing. What we have is a series of topics, with the most sketchy illustrations imaginable, for each of the

User Interface Font Sizes

2006-11-03 Thread Peter Alcibiades
How does Revolution pick which fonts it uses for the user interface and how does one change them? For example, if I look at the reference documentation - dictionary, it is displaying on my screen with font size 6 or so. Maybe less. Just about readable with an effort, but needs reading
