Re: Opera 10.5 - bad looking fonts on printer
Same thing happens in firefox. Sometimes I open a word doc in abiword and get a similar issue, the solution is to select all and change the font to Bitstream or something open-source, I suspect the issues may be similar, but I have no idea how to get micro$oft fonts into bsd, or how to change opera/firefox's font. could be totally unrelated too. it's been around a long time, must be an issue no one else has - did you build operta from ports or download the package? Maybe some magic needs to go in /etc/make.conf - that's the only way half the ports will work with cups at all; doesn't fix firefox, however. Good luck with that. There are certain things FreeBSD is bad at fixing, and they all relate to the desktop. Had to put Fedora on my notebooks so I could sleep them reliably.

Re: Opera in your repos
On Thu, Aug 06, 2009 at 02:46:05AM +0100, Frank Shute wrote: BSD=Berkeley Software Distribution AKA distro of Unix That's not the same as saying that FreeBSD is a distribution. FreeBSD is not called a BSD of Unix, after all. It's a BSD Unix system or BSD Unix OS, or simply a BSD Unix. The difference is that BSD refers to the point of origin in this case, and the ancestral codebase, and the license. A Linux distribution is Linux, bundled up with other software, to produce a OS package for distribution. A BSD Unix system, on the other hand, is a Unix system of the BSD tradition. The term BSD originally referred to the fact that a set of software was distributed together under the auspices of UC Berkeley. Since FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD are not distributed by UC Berkeley's Computer Systems Research Group any longer, the term BSD now just refers a family relation of sorts, and is a term of tradition rather than a literal statement about the nature of the software's character in some way. One might say it's a software distribution package, of course, but in colloquial usage, the abbreviated distro or distribution without any more specific reference to the context of the term has a meaning particular to the Linux-based operating system distribution model, where there's a core component common across many operating system variants and those variations are known as distributions of the common core. When the term distribution is used without more specific context, it is generally understood to mean a particular variant software bundle among many such options built around a common core component that, altogether, makes a unique operating system. FreeBSD, however, is not such a thing at all. It is a complete operating system developed as a whole. . . . so while there may be *some* sense of truth in your explanation for why it's a distribution, I don't think that's really a meaningful definition for purposes of enabling clear communication about the nature of the FreeBSD OS and its development project, and I sympathize with those who say It's an operating system, not a distro. DesktopBSD and PC-BSD, on the other hand . . . I've been far too pedantic for one email on such an inconsequential subject.

Re: Opera and FreeBSD
My name is Anna Rajsman and I am working in Opera Software. Hallo Anna. Sorry for the rudeness you will get from many of the users on here. I have been using Opera on *nix for nearly a decade now and unlike our flamers, I understand all Opera *nix distro's fall under the Linux subgroup at Opera ... whether this is linux, freebsd, or solaris. Recently I took over Linux distribution at Opera Good deal. A short piece of advice for you is to quickly realize *nix is not monolithic like Microsoft software and Linux / Solaris / *BSD are entirely separate (though similar is some respects) operating systems and not subsets of each other. Many of the more vocal users (who often represent the minority of total users) will immediately tune you out or not give you the time of day for you failing to realize this as they perceive it as an insult. It basically shows you didn't take 30 seconds and google to do you homework. Its like calling a Porsche a BMW because both are European manufactured cars. and I have been going through the distribution agreements we have with Linux providers and I haven't found any with FreeBSD Linux. See above, FreeBSD is NOT a linux distro. We would like to ask you if you would like to distribute the Opera browser with your OS? Or maybe you are doing it already? Would you like to sign a distribution agreement with Opera? Many folk will question the need for this and to be honest, I am not sure if Opera is currently already distributed on the FreeBSD port disc (basically 3rd party application cd). The PROPER people to contact concerning this though are the folk over at the FBSD Foundation who control the legalities. See: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/ Last just to warn you, you will find many FBSD Opera users are hostile to Opera itself. Opera has long ignored FBSD specific problem with their software in favor of focusing on Linux development only. See Opera's own FreeBSD forum. Basically if the problem affects Linux and FBSD its fixed, if it effects FBSD only its put on the back burner. This use my product while we ignore your issues has made many of us current (and former) Opera users on FBSD embittered towards your org. We like your product, we despise your treatment of us. -Peter ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

questions RE: opera web browser and plugins...
Hello, I am using linux-opera in FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE, with ion as my window manager. As far as plugins, shockwave-flash is behaving perfectly. When I click on a .swf file, the flash animation opens up _inside_ the web viewing area, stays inside the browser, etc. No new windows are created. However, when the flash animation is finished, I am simply left with a black screen and have to hit the back button to go back to the page I initiated the flash file from. 1. Is there any way to just have the animation finish and be left back at the screen I started on ? (and not have to hit the back button) Now, acroread behaves differently ... I can successfully open pdf documents in opera, but acroread spawns a whole new window. 2. Is there any way to have acroread initiate itself _inside_ of opera ? Even better, is it possible for it to respect the browser back button, so I can just go back with the back button and the acroread window (and program) just disappear ? 3. Is this possible with xmms and/or xine as well ? They also spawn whole new windows when I hit a .avi or .mp3 ... 4. Is it possible that somehow, between opera and xine, (or xmms) they can be smart enough to know that if one piece of media is playing, and I click on another piece of media, not to spawn another player and compete with each other for graphics/sound, but rather to just start playing the new thing in the existing player and forget the old piece of media ? 5. Finally, often opera will, when I click on a mp3 or a movie, download the entire thing before sending it off to xmms/xine for playback. How can I force opera to just start playing it immediately ? And further, is it possible to configure how much of it to buffer before handing it off ? I know it is possible, because if I run: xmms http://example.com/mp3/some_song.mp3 playback begins immediately ... it doesn't download the entire song first... thanks. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Opera 7b4 does not render frames properly
Dear Arjan, After starting Opera I surf to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/. I then browse around a bit and after a while I return to the API page. I can still see the frame outlines, but the pages are grey. This is a known bug in B4, it has problems with frame pages. You'll see the same behavior on Google Groups, for example. All betas after B4 don't have this problem. The updated port for B7 is in PR ports/56181 (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=56181), but so far I haven't found a committer to commit it. I have tried the patch. The Makefile part does not seem to apply cleanly becuase of the CVS $FreeBSD$ header. Perhaps that should not be part of the patch. Other than that it works fine. The new version of the port does indeed fix the problem that I was seeing. Thank you for the prompt response.

If opera uses SysV IPC (I don't now, newer used) maybe not cleaning up correctly before exit/crash. List with ipcs, delete with ipcrm if apply. I had the same problem with compupic, which sometimes doesn't delete the shared memory segment. -andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
