[Completely OT] Withdrawal symptoms from Slashdot

[Alex Tweedly via use-livecode]

Completely off topic, but I need help ;-)

For many years now my standard "I have 30 seconds (or minutes) to fill 
in, what's happening in the world" web site has been slashdot, but it 
seems to be completely off the air for now.


I'm looking for suggestions for alternates that are worth using while 
waiting for a build, or just to give me some interesting. The less 
video, the better :-)


Thanks

Alex.

tsNet Error Codes (was: Internet checking?)

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

Charles Warwick of Tech Sstrategies gave me this info and doesn’t mind if it’s 
shared. May be useful to some folk on the list! It certainly solved my question 
about tserror(7).

Re: LC server and fonts

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

ooohhi see.  I'm not sure about the limitations of LC Server and
outputting to a 'visible stack'...but if its not possible with LC
Server...then you can run an LC Desktop Standalone to create the image you
need ...and then pass it on to the server,  Its likely to be fast enough
with very little overhead.

But if this needs to scale..then I'm not sure.

Anyone else?

Actually no : I want to layout text, images, and graphics
server-side, in the same way as what can be done with php
librairies such as gd2 or image magik.

Re: LC server and fonts

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

That would work perfectly in desktopbut on server.. its different
for some reason.

You are displaying field and exporting from a browser window correct?

Re: LC server and fonts

[jbv via use-livecode]

Hello
Thanks for the reply, but that's not what I need.
For instance, here's what I want to do :
   create field
   put "my text" into fld 1
   set the textfont of fld 1 to "myfont.ttf'
   export snapshot from fld 1 to file "File1.png" as PNG
Therefore I need to "load" ttf fonts somehow.

Best

Re: LC server and fonts

[Tom Glod via use-livecode]

LC server generates html code to display text. so you need to use
inline CSS, external CSS to generate the text you want using HTML
