@joerg

Would it be possible for you to email me the sources in a form that i can type "make" on my a1 and get an exe out the other end?

@Swoop

Well, then "break name snowflakes" should work.

@padrino

They're not here either, but i don't know why. I figured i'd just release it as-is because it was just a quick program i knocked together...

@Swoop

You have to ctrl+c in the CLI window where you launched it, or you have to know which process number it has (you can find it with the status command), and then use the break command to stop it.

@VooDoo

5, i think.

@Swoop

CodeBench has not been released yet. I am just a jammy bastard who already has a copy :)

@fishy_fis

Unless you're talking about OS4, in which case you should swap it for Snoopy.

@magic

"my" top 10 (excluding anything that came with the OS) is:

1) Custom build of JanoEditor (although CodeBench is now replacing that)
2) GCC
3) SimpleMail
4) PFTP
5) IBrowse
6) OWB
7) TuneNet
8) Cranu
9) MakeCD
10) Photogenics

@Mikey_C

Check os4depot upload queue (or even recent uploads if its been approved yet).

Edit: and now its been approved.

@joerg

Incidentally, is there a guide to checking out OWB and building an OS4 executable?

Does it build on OS4 or do you have to cross compile? (i have latest beta SDK).

Fair enough. Shows what I know

Edit: Out of interest, where is this third tab in typemanager where you can set families? I can't see anything to do with families...

Edit: Found it :)

@nubechecorre

OWB 2.18 should just use them.

@Swoop

Thats actually slightly different.

I was talking about configuring HTML->Fonts in IBrowse prefs for display. For example to add Arial:

* Select the Preferences->Settings menu option

* Expand the HTML section

* Highlight fonts

* Click add font style, and name it "Arial"

* Expand the new entry to reveal the font sizes

* For each font size select a corresponding Arial font & size combination. For example:

1 (smallest) = Arial/11
2 = Arial/12
3 (normal) = Arial/14
4 = Arial/16
5 = Arial/20
6 = Arial/22
7 (largest) = Arial/24

* Repeat for each core font

Just thought i'd write a little how-to for anyone wondering what the "core fonts" are and how to install them on OS4.x (since OWB now defaults to them).

The core fonts are the standard fonts you get with Windows. Things like Arial, Verdana, Impact, etc. A lot of websites assume you have these fonts.

Anyway, heres how to get them installed on OS4.x:

* Go to this page.

* Download the following files:

andale32.exe
arial32.exe
arialb32.exe
comic32.exe
courie32.exe
georgi32.exe
impact32.exe
times32.exe
trebuc32.exe
verdan32.exe
webdin32.exe

* Load each file in UnArc, and extract all the ".TTF" files to a temporary directory. You don't need the other files, just the TTF ones.

* Run "TypeManager". It can be found the system directory of your boot partition.

* In the destination directory, use the cycle gadget to select your FONTS directory.

* In the source directory, use the popup button and select the directory you extracted all the TTF files to.

* Hit "Select All", then "Install".

And now you should have all the core fonts on your system.

OWB uses them by default, but for IBrowse you have to create a profile for each core font.

Hmm, the font rendering seems to be all over the shop for me.. the old kerning bug is back. I even installed the core fonts, and its still not right.

I'm going to try with XDPI and YDPI set to 80 again...

Edit: No, the kerning is still all wrong and the fonts are now too small. I'll just leave it on the defaults.

I always have "Full articles" selected for thedailywtf.com, but in OWB it moans about turning cookies on. Whats really weird, though, is that the site quite happily still lets me log in! (although no full articles still).

@Rudei

Why not use PFTP or AmiFTP?

@ShInKurO

All but one of my partitions is SFS (the other is JXFS), and i've never had an OWB crash. (OWB has always resided on an SFS partition).

@thomas

I have in the past used an 80Gb USB hard disk RDB partitioned with one big SFS partition without problems on both OS4.0 and OS4.1...
