Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: nedit window title Initial Comment: I connected to a linux server through Nomachine's NX terminal. The window's title of nedit were always "Untitled". There was no problem when I ran nedit directly on this linux machine. I also tried xemacs, gedit and jedit and didn't have such a problem-all their titles were displayed as expected. Also it seems I need to install some fonts on the client (windows XP) side, otherwise the fonts in nedit was ugly. Any idea? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tony Balinski (ajbj) Date: 2009-05-07 01:12 Message: The changing of titles on the windows decorations are expected by nedit to be handled by the window manager. It tells the WM about the required changes to the title. If the WM doesn't understand the way nedit does this, the title won't be updated. I suspect this is what's happening. Nedit does use old-fashioned font handling, which works very well for bitmapped fonts, which can be very clear and sharp, but look blocky against apps using anitaliased vector based fonts. (I prefer the bitmapped ones myself for their clarity.) The rendering of text using these fonts boils down to telling the x server where to draw what character string. New APIs render the string to an image in the program (x client) then this result is drawn to the screen (IIUC), which gives the client more control over how rendering happens. I understand this is how antialiasing is done. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2009-05-06 14:03 Message: The following note are from http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-windows.php: "NOTE: The additional fonts are only needed when running very old Unix applications, requiring the use of client-side fonts. All recent Unix applications use fonts stored on the server, that are fully supported by NX." does nedit require the use of client-side fonts? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=111005&aid=2787636&group_id=11005 -- NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop
