Re: shell script to cap first letter?
i'm wondering if there is a script that i could run my plaintext files thru that would capitalize thef first letter of each sentence [[ assuming the character wasn't already a cap!]] more and more, in recent years, i have posted questions or written things that have been sloppily or casually hacked together in all lower case. this filter would have to determine what was and was not a sentence. or a sentence fragment. [ai]spell can catch i've and suggest I've, etc. You're asking a lot from a simple filter if you want it to discriminate between uses of . to terminate a sentence, and other uses of . that do not require the following word to be capitalized, such as the use of . in abbreviations -- a lot of fairly sophisticated spelling and grammar checkers can fail to do this reliably. But if you want a naive filter you could use textproc/gsed, with the /U GNU extension (our BSD sed(1) doesn't understand it), e.g.: gsed -e 's|\(\.[.[:space:].]\)\([a-z]\)|\1\U\2|g' or you could use BSD sed(1), together with a more cumbersome capitalization script, like the cflword[12345].sed scripts at: http://sed.sourceforge.net/grabbag/scripts/#txfo Or you could use Perl. Or awk(1). Or script a [non-]interactive call to a more sophisticated spelling or grammar checker. Or roll your own.

I have imported fonts from my Windows 2000 installation, and I am using the same profile that works well with native FreeBSD firefox and firefox on Windows 2000. I believe this did not happen with firefox2. Grateful for any hint. What exactly did you do to import those fonts? You should put them in a separate directory under /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts, create fonts.scale and fonts.dir in that directory using mkfontscale and mkfontdir, then run fc-cache -f -v and (for completeness) add a FontPath entry to your xorg.conf. Alternatively, you can install the x11-fonts/webfonts port, which contains the most commonly used fonts. I have webfonts. In addition, I copied my Windows fonts to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts, thinking that might have something to do with it. (Actually, I only use wine in order to get flash9, so if anyone could help me solve this problem instead, that's even better. I have tried the available recipes with no success - my firefox3 just freezes.) This formulation is awkward. I meant to say that I wanted flash9 to work with native FreeBSD firefox3. Try to get it to work under linux-firefox first. Thanks for your advice, Tijl. I had already done these things, but the problem, I believe, is that linux firefox3 is a beta. As it happens, I now find that native firefox2 (2.0.0.20) works with my present setup, so I will simply use that version for the time being. I suppose linux firefox2 might also work, but there is no need for me to try it since I now have native firefox2, with flash9, with sound. -- Tore ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I do have ff3 running with similar issues, but I'm sure there's some sort of documentation available to fix it. You're going to want an anti-aliased font, and probably an MS one for greatest compatibility. I've also got flash 10 installed on it and the video is terrible.

Deleted messages will, however, usually disappear never to be seen again.
