@kilaueabart Quote: But I consider this strange, in light of what you say about installation. Cygnix:CygnixPPC/share/fonts/truetype contains 40 files, including fonts.cache-1; 21 flavors of DejaVu, ten of Vera , and eight of Free. Meanwhile Sys:Fonts/_TrueType contains 109 files, no Free included. While installation, only DejaVu and Vera fonts are copied, none of the others!! These fonts are the most important fonts for AmiCygnix. If the user wants wants fonts, he must install them by himself. Quote: But your final paragraph above seems to imply that BitStream Vera Sans contains Gurmukhi (whatever that is) because I can set the font to the former and view the latter. Why would BitStream Vera have such a quaint font? A truetype font has special areas for special characters. Sometimes it is not enough only to select the desired charset (e.g. ISO-8859-1), you need a so called "input method" to get the desired characters while typing in a text. GTK2 has such a feature: Click the right mouse button in a text field and have a look at menu item "Input Methods". In the current AmiCygnix release only the standard GTK+ methods are active. This means: No korean input method (You need "Hangul" for korean - right?). Also the current release of AbiWord has no compiled in Hangul input module. All programs released after AbiWord do have additional compiled in modules for hangul, greek and others. But they must be activated in the GTK2 settings. If you want to test these new features, just send me a mail  .

@kilaueabart
By default fonts in AmiCygnix are stored in:
Cygnix:CygnixPPC/share/fonts
Cygnix:CygnixPPC/local/share/fonts
Cygnix:Home/root/.fonts
While installation the truetype fonts from "Sys:Fonts/_TrueType" are copied to "Cygnix:CygnixPPC/share/fonts", so these fonts (DejaVu and Vera) are also available. The "Mono" versions of these fonts have fixed width!
If you want to install own fonts, please copy them to "Cygnix:Home/root/.fonts" and call the script "Cygnix:S/Utilities/Refresh-Font-Caches.bat" - that's all. They should also be visible in "Character Map".
The languages you see there, are the character sets included in the selected font (Selected in the top left chooser).

@TSK Quote: This is really wonderful news !!!!!! Any estimate of a release date ? Yes, I'm happy, that I could implement this. But I'm afraid, that it will need several more weeks before I can make a release. I have not much time at the moment and I have to fix some bugs. @virgola Quote: Am I wrong or I can see the Geany icon on your Amicygnix desktop?? Yes, indeed . Some nice apps on my HD are waiting for a release. Geany is nearly completed, but one feature is still missing: Execute a built program. Compiling a project already works. But same as Gimp: A realease will need some more time  Quote: any news on the AMP package? The AmiCygnix version of AAMP is finished and will be publisehd very soon!

@divina Unfortunately I have no idea, how to fix this. The only solution at the moment is, to replace the file "Sys:Kickstart/ATIRadeon.chip" of update 2 with the file from update 1. Of course you loose the new features of this module from update 2. @328gts Maybe I have some good news for you: Although the (external) plugin system is still not working, I was able to add several loaders to Gimp (newer version 2.4.7) . See snapshot:  Savers are in development.

Plugins in Gimp are still not working. Gimp has a strange plugin system, which makes it hard to port. At the moment I'm not working on it. I have not enough time and no idea, how to make it. Sorry for this.

@Mrodfr Quote: just 640ko but surely, as you said, hard to port...
Maybe only hard to port for me Quote: As you said, you have this libs on Amicygnix allready:
- There is an interest to be in touch with you in case a programmer want to port them to AOS4.x ???
- The fact that amicygnix have allready this libraries (or others) give less job for a real port to AOS4.x (or no relation at all) based on the amicygnix ported version ???. GTKMM and GlibMM are very easy to port ... if you already have GTK2 and Glib2. GTKMM and GlibMM are just C++ interfaces with no real functionality. Poppler is a simple library for PDF files - should be easy to port. So my libs would not be a great help for a native port. Too much dependencies to X11.

@Mrodfr
I already have GlibMM, GTKMM and Poppler.
Boost is not available for Newlib at the moment, but shouldn't be too hard to compile.
But the biggest problem is Boehm-GC. It was already ported to OS3.x, but it is a very bad hack
and the code unusuable for OS4 / AmiCygnix.
At the moment I don't see a chance to port this library.

@nubechecorre
If you call the AmiCygnix startup AFTER the SDK startup, you should not have any problems.
Maybe there is a problem with the PATH variable needed by the abc-shell. In the AmiCygnix startup this variable is defined, if it does not exist. So if you have problems here, just comment it out in "Cygnix:S/Cygnix-Startup".

@kilaueabart
This shouldn't work in all AmiCygnix apps. I think the problem is, that the X server doesn't support Alt and AltGr key combinations. The Alt and AltGr key event is handled, but no events, where these keys are pressed together with another key. This is not really a bug of the server, it is simply not implemented. I'm working on it.

@Snuffy Quote: In AmigaOS4 Update 1, Intuition was updated:
"Reduced video memory consumption due to improved screen handling."
From your view, how does X11 behaving to this? The X server writes the gfx data directly into the video memory - he doesn't use any OS render routines. Intuition is only used for message handling (mouse, keyboard, ...) and for opening the window / screen. Quote: Since I use SDLBasic a lot, there's a very noticeable slow down in SDL. Recycling screen memory routines doing this or is it SDL architecture? Just some curious 'nose/knows poking!' I really don't know - I don't know much about the SDL code.

It seems, that your installation is broken. Please check, if these lines are in your user-startup:
;BEGIN Cygnix
assign Cygnix: <your path>
execute Cygnix:s/Cygnix-Startup
;END Cygnix
They should be placed after the OS4-SDK startup.

I have read on Iksnet's forum (in italian) a thread about problems when running AmiCygnix in PIP mode under update 1. I have tried this on my setup, running a freshly installed AmiCygnix, and I can confirm the problems. Regardless of the Workbench screen's depth, the AmiCygnix desktop's colors are all wrong, most of the colors are of a shade of violet. No problems when running it full screen.
Varthall
Yes, it's true - PIP mode doesn't work anymore  I have no idea, what the problem is. The PIP driver opens a Picasso96 PIP window with pixel format RGBFB_R5G6B5. This is checked after opening the window and the format is correct. But it is NOT RGBFB_R5G6B5! Seems to be a YUV format. @Snuffy Quote: myX11Setup configuration file will be zeroed out in the new OS41.1 "user startup"! I started with that after coping-over the libraries. Could not find a problem here. What do you mean with "new OS4.1 user-startup"?

There is no need for a reinstall, but you need the libraries "sysvipc.library" and "threads.library" in your LIBS: directory.
Also please refresh the font caches, if you included the fonts in "Sys:fonts" (normally not included).

@kilaueabart Hmm - I think you've found a bug in AmiCygnix. The fonts in "Cygnix:CygnixPPC/share/imlib2/data/fonts" are bad formatted. They were included in the imlib2 library package and I've included them without tests. Please use "FontForge" (an AmiCygnix program available on OS4-depot) to repair the fonts. Load the font into the program (ignore the error messages) and save it with the menu item "File/Generate Fonts...". Afterwards it should work Don't forget to refresh the font caches!

I guess you are a OS4 beta-tester?? I was told, that there are problems with the next update, but I can't check this. I have to wait for the release of the update. Hope I can fix it then.

Please install your own fonts in "Cygnix:Home/root/.fonts" and not in "Cygnix:CygnixPPC/share/fonts".
You MUST call "Refresh-Font-Caches.bat" (Or "Refresh-ALL-Caches.bat") from the directory "Cygnix:S/Utilities" afterwards. Maybe your caches are broken now.
If this does not help, you should install AmiCygnix from scratch.
