Linux application fonts

Reposted from erroneous post on Labwindows/CVI - sorry
I am having the problem of different font behaviour when transferring applications from windows to linux. After trying various things without much success I am left with some questions:-
1      The help files in LV 8.2 say that the default font in linux for application, system and dialog is helvetica. If this is not installed is there any way of finding which font has been chosen by Labview?
2      The 'Tools->Options->Fonts' menu gives a list of fonts that have little relation to the fonts actually installed on the PC, where does this come from?
3      I have tried defining fonts in the .labviewrc file using the "labview.appFont:" parameter.  Is this supposed to become the default font overriding what is selected by labview as in 1? It apparently has no effect in my application.
I would be grateful for any information

Hi jbroughton,
I hope your well today.
As promised I have had a look into your questions:
1) Regarding what happens if labVIEW can't find the default?
A) LabVIEW will still indicate the original font in the font ring.
However, since the font is not available on the system, LabVIEW will
actually use the Application Font.
What Happens if LabVIEW Cannot Find a Particular Font for a VI?

2) More info on fonts in labVIEW (is in a KB, but link is broken so...)
<><><><>
In terms of fonts, LabVIEW has three default fonts that it uses:
Application, System, and Dialog fonts. The following is a breakdown of
where these default fonts are used and how they map to the fonts on
various operating systems:
Application Font:
LabVIEW default font used in Controls/Functions palettes and new controls.
(Windows) The U.S. version of Windows usually uses Arial. The size
depends on the settings of the video driver, because you can frequently
set up higher resolution video drivers to use Large Fonts or Small
Fonts.
- (Macintosh) LabVIEW uses the same font used in the
Finder for file names for the Application font, which on the U.S.
Macintosh system is Geneva.
- (UNIX) LabVIEW uses Helvetica by default.
System Font
LabVIEW font for menus.
- (Windows) Windows uses Helvetica, with the size dependent upon the video driver.
- (Macintosh) Thus, LabVIEW normally uses Chicago.
- (UNIX) LabVIEW normally uses Helvetica for this font.
Dialog Font
LabVIEW font for text in dialog boxes.
- (Windows) This font is a bold version of the Application font.
- (Macintosh) This font is the same as the System font.
- (UNIX) On HP-UX, this font is the same as the System font. LabVIEW normally uses Helvetica for this font.

Help with Labview for Linux application - datalog to XML format

Hi,
I am working on an application that makes use of a PDA for instrument control and data acquisition, and all our code has been written with the use Labview PDA 8.2. The instrument data is returned wirelessly to a remote server, and one of the specifications we set early in the project was the data would be returned in XML format in line with Labview's inbuilt XML schema.
Unfortunately, this XML funtion is not available on Labview PDA! We have made a change to return the data in Labview's 'Datalog' format, and then we now intend to run an additional application on the server to convert this information to XML before passing the data to our customer's software.
We have successfully done this with Labview for windows, but our customer's server is Linux based.
Is anyone aware of someone (or a company) who would be able to take our existing 'datalog-to-XML' vi and compile it for Linux? The program is really simple, and I would hope that all the functionality we use is supported in Labview for Linux.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
LabVIEW VIs that are developed in a Windows environment can be used in a Linux version of LabVIEW. As long as the VIs have not got Windows specific features such as ActiveX or Windows dll call you can run the VI in Linux. Also there maybe some specific drivers that are not supported under the Linux environment (see link). The VI will simply be recompiled in Linux. The Linux user must have a copy of the Linux LabVIEW Development System installed though.

Firefox in Linux poorly renders fonts

Hello, when I go to http://famo.us fonts in my Firefox on Debian don't look very well (example in attachment).
The problem exists also when I start Firefox with -safe-mode and in Firefox Developer Edition.

Fonts issue on 10g Reports (Linux)

A while back I posted some questions about installing fonts on Linux RHEL 5.
Currently, I'm in process of upgrading Client/Server Forms/Reports from 6i on a Windows platforms to 10g forms/reports on a Linux RHEL5 platform. No database is installed on the server since we are using the TNSNames in the Network Admin to connect to the database.
I have been able to convert all forms and all reports to 10g. I had an issue with the Arial, Arial Narrow, and Courier New fonts not displaying in output when I generated a PDF file via the screen using the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT command. The fonts were translating. I was able to use Metalink Note 261879.1 and run the scripts to generate the AFM files and copy the TTF fonts to the appropriate directories. When I run the reports in 10g on Linux, those 3 fonts display just fine.
However, I have 3 other fonts (Monotype Sorts, Arial Unicode MS, and one of Barcode fonts) that I need to get working. I've worked with Oracle Support and I'll be honest, the steps they are telling me either aren't very clear or just flat out aren't right.
I've tried on Windows to use the ttf2pt1 program to generate the AFM files and copied those up to guicommon/tk/admin/AFM directory. I've copied the TTF file up to the associated directory. I've modified the uifont.ali directory to include the font, to no success.
Has anyone tried to move a Windows font up to Linux (Unix) and got it to work successfully? If so, could you provide me some steps? I've really been trying to get this to work and would do anything at this point to get it to work. I've got about 5 reports that use these 3 fonts and if I get them working, I'm done.
Please provide good detail, if possible. Oracle Support has just confused me more by providing notes to read and little tidbits here and there but haven't given me something that works in a straightforward manner.

# Styles may be combined; you can use plus ("+") to delimit parts of a

# See your platform documentation for a list of all supported character

#    o Should accept a RHS ratio (e.g., "Helv = Arial.2/3").

# [ PDF:Subset ] - Used for True Type Font subsetting
# NOTES ON PRECEDENCE OF PDF SECTIONS:
# If you have entries for a same font in many PDF sections, then Font
# Aliasing entry will take precedence over Font Subsetting entry. Entries
# in Font Subsetting will take precedence over the entries in Font Embedding
# section.
# Generic entries for a font must follow more specific entries for the same
# font. For instance, if you want to subset helvetica Plain, helvetica Bold,
# helvetica Italic and helvetica Bold-Italic fonts, your entries must be:
# [ PDF:Subset ]
# helvetica..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
# helvetica...Bold..       = "Arialb.ttf"
# helvetica..Italic...     = "Ariali.ttf"
# helvetica.....           = "Arial.ttf"
# If helvetica..... entry appears in the top of the list, all the styles of
# helvetica font in the layout will be subset as helvetica Plain font.
[ PDF ]
# This example shows how to rename helvetica font to Courier font
# helvetica = Courier
# You can Alias specific styles of font as below
# helvetica.12..Bold.. = Courier.14....
# "Lucida Bright".12..Bold = "New Century Schoolbook"
# Support for Far Eastern Languages:
# PDF section can be additionally used to enable Multibyte language support
# built into Reports. To use this feature with Adobe (r) Acrobat (c), you
# need to install the Asian font pack available online at the Adobe web site.
# .....SJIS = "HeiseiKakuGo-W5-Acro"
# A Japanese report run with Shift-JIS character set is replaced to
# HeiseiKakuGo-W5-Acro CID font.
[ PDF:Embed ]
# This example shows how to embed Type 1 helvetica font into the PDF file:
# helvetica = "helvetica.afm helvetica.pfa"
# You need to specify the .afm file before the .pfa file.
# The font files must exist in one of the folders specified in REPORTS_PATH.
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file:
# helvetica = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
# Subsetting TrueType Collection fonts:
# Typically, a TTC font contains several fonts in one file. For example,
# the TTC file, msgothic.ttc consists of three fonts in the order -
# MS Gothic, MS PGothic and MS UI Gothic. To subset MS PGothic, the
# entry in the PDF:Subset section of uifont.ali would be:
# "MS PGothic" = "msgothic.ttc,1"

How can I get the TOC to display ALWAYS in a Sans-Serif Font in Linux/Firefox.

I've created my help project in RH9. When it displays in Linux/Firefox, the fonts in the topics are fine, but the TOC displays in Times New Roman. Is there a setting in RH9 that I need to use to keep this from happening?

Hi,
Did you change the setting in the skin? What font have you set for the TOC? Perhaps you set a font that is not available on linux so make sure that you use a web safe font. For more information on web safe fonts, see http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp
You can also tinker with your output files. In whthost.js, you can amend the CSS that RoboHelp uses for the TOC. you can add a rule for a sans-serif font the browser can fall back on. See http://www.wvanweelden.eu/webhelp_output_files/whthostjs for more information on the whthost.js file.
Greet,
Willam

Linux - Turkish font - RTF working, PDF replaced with ?

Hi All,
Im back to trying to get my application working on Linux again, and have arrived at the next bump in the road.
Versions:
CR4E v2.0.4.r825
Java 1.6.0_13
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
Background. Originally develeoped and tested on Windows, and got everything working 100%.
We then moved the App to a Linux enviroment.
First problem I came across was directory referencing, and case sensitivity, which I managed to solve.
We then had issues where all fonts in the PDF outputs were shown as LucidaSans. This was solved by following the
documentation found on [http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/]
This allowed us to correctly output the TimesNewRoman font.
Everything was going well until we needed to display Turkish font. On our Windows test enviroment everything is working
perfectly, on the Linux, not so much.
The way the Turkish font is used on the report is I developed a UFL which receives numbers and then looks up certain codes
in a properties file, which contains the unicode representation of the Turkish characters. These are then interpreted by
Java and a String is formatted and returned to the Report.
If I look in my logs I get the following:
com.crystaldecisions.reports.formulas.k.a(SourceFile:4554) - Function 'numbers2words' returned: s(beu015Fyu00FCz doksan TL )
So we can see that the correct characters are returned. ( ş )
What I found out that if I tried exporting the Report as a PDF the text returned gets converted to - be?yu00FCz doksan TL
The Document Properties of the PDF produce on Linux lists the fonts as
DejaVuLGSans
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Ansi
Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
Actual Font Type: Type 1
TimesNewRoman
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Ansi
Actual Font: TimesNewRomanPSMT
Actual Font Type: TrueType
Yet Windows version is as follows
TimesNewRoman(Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Built-in
TimesNewRomanBold(Embedded Subset)
Type: TrueType
Encoding: Built-in
BUT if I export to a RTF document, all font looks perfect, on both Windows and Linux.
RTF code looks something like this if this helps anyone
{\posx260\posy9866\absw5518\absh-1919 \sl240\slmult1\par\fs17\f1 be\uc1\u351\'3Fy\u252\'3Fz doksan TL \par\par\par}
Any ideas on what I need to do or what I have not done, I will take any sugesstions. Also will give additional info if required.
Thanks Darren

Thanks Ted,
That did the trick.
Although I must say that I find it strange that originally we had no TimesNewRoman fonts on the Linux box,
so we setup the msttcorefonts package as per [http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec]
This then allowed us to print TimesNewRoman font on our PDF, but we still had no Turkish characters.
So by placing these TTF files into the Java /lib/fonts directory and amending the fonts.dir file we all of a sudden had the Turkish characters.
It almost seems that applying the fonts the first time only half solved our problems, and then once we made them avaliable in
the Java lib/fonts area it solved the UFL issue.
Anyways, its working now so we all happy.
Cheers
Darren

Infinality-bundle-fonts: a free multilingual font collection for Arch

infinality-bundle-fonts: a free multilingual font collection for Arch Linux
infinality-bundle-fonts is meant to be a complete, 'install-and-forget' solution for most (Arch) Linux users looking for easy access to common type-faces diversity needed to create and reproduce (hyper)text documents. It consists of freely available, hand-picked fonts providing correct, uniform and high quality rendering of multilingual content.
Obligatory teaser
click
Installation instructions
See Infinality-bundle+fonts.
Technical information and user notes
Popular proprietary fonts substitutions
See /etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/free/37-repl-global-free.conf.
Default sans-serif, serif, monospace, fantasy, cursive
See /etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/free/60-latin-free.conf.
Languages covered and special cases
Wikipedia was used as a reference when testing Latin and non-Latin linguistic scenarios and I believe that the majority of users should be satisfied with the results (the completeness, rendering quality, readability, clarity, coherence… you name it).
If in doubt, you can easily check which font family is used to display a particular script:
[~] $ fc-match :lang=ja
sawarabi-gothic-medium.ttf: "Sawarabi Gothic" "Medium"
Before you install a third-party font package, first check if it is already present in the infinality-bundle-fonts repository.
The default sans family is Noto Sans. However, in order to preserve the correct layout of certain web documents, Liberation Sans will remain the replacement for Arial. The width difference between the two could be problematic for certain websites prioritizing Arial/Helvetica over 'anything sans' (rather than 'anything serif'). Websites intentionally designed to use any sans font will select Noto Sans by default.
There is an extensive choice of available serif type-faces: the default is Heuristica, others include Crimson Text, Merriweather, TeX Gyre Termes, Gentium family, and more.
A few popular font packages available in the Arch Linux official repositories were re-packed in order to avoid rendering issues.
A few packages available in the AUR were re-packed for compatibility reasons.
You will be notified if a package you already have in your system should be replaced with a corresponding one from the infinality-bundle-fonts repository. If this is the case, just hit 'Y' to accept and install the new one.
Additional font files can be found in infinality-bundle-fonts-extra group. Some may be handy extensions for particular scripts (like 'ttf-dejavusans-yunati-*-ibx'), others are strictly optional and task specific. The 'extra' group is expected to offer those few quality bits that users most often need to use but that do not belong to the main set. Suggestions are welcome. Note: 'extra' is not a place for 10 mono / sans / decorative type-faces, etc. This is technically impossible due to server bandwidth limits and practically against the usability principle that a well organized general purpose font collection should offer.
Licensing
The files available in the infinality-bundle-fonts repository are freely available for download, redistribution, personal and/or commercial use. 95% of the fonts are licensed under the GPL, Apache or OFL license. The remaining 5% can still be freely distributed and used under certain conditions specified by the author and/or the foundry. Please, consult a particular license for details if a proper license matters to you.
Sources and build scripts
All source files are available in the usual place:
PKGBUILD
Enjoy.

How do I change the Jdeveloper font?

How do I change the Jdeveloper font for the builtin file editor? I am a new user.
Also, how do I discover (on Linux) what Jdeveloper fonts are available?
Thanks,
sergei

Thanks.
I found that font DejaVu LGC Sans with size 18 is almost good enough for me to use.
Unfortunately none of the fonts display well enough for me to use Jdev as a primary source editor on Linux.
Perhaps Jdev displays fonts more reasonably on Windows -- it is not acceptable to me on Linux.
I don't understand why the Courier font (and all other fonts too) I use on Linux for my standard code editor displays so much smoother than with Jdev which has all chars jagged.

How to do I increase the font size inside the drop down menus?

I am trying to enlarge the default font size of the drop down menus that appear when you use the items in the menu bar. For example, I want to increase the font size used in the list that appears under "bookmarks." I do not trying to do anything other than this. Theme and Font size changer does not do this.

Can you clarify with a screenshot which for items you want to change the font size?
I use this code on Linux for some font sizes:
<pre><nowiki>/* font-size: sidebar */
#commonDialog *, #sidebar-box *, #bookmarksPanel *, #history-panel *{ font-size:11pt!important; }
/* font-size: Bookmarks */
#bookmarksBarContent menuitem.bookmark-item,
#bookmarksMenuPopup menu,
#bookmarksMenuPopup menuitem { font-size:11pt!important; }
/* font-size: search bar,autohide */
#search-container .textbox-input-box {font-size:0px!important}
#search-container .searchbar-textbox:hover .textbox-input-box,
#search-container .searchbar-textbox[focused="true"] .textbox-input-box { font-size:12pt!important; font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"; }
/* font-size: navigator toolbox */
#navigator-toolbox menupopup menu, #navigator-toolbox menupopup menuitem { font-size:12px!important; }</nowiki></pre>

Font rendering across OS's

Hi,
Hopefully this is a simple question.
I'm using Java2D to generate PNG's for a webapp. When I develop on my windows box, the font rendering looks great. When I push it out to my Linux server, the font's look awful.
In a best case, I like to make my fonts look great on both OS's, but I'll take making them look consistent. I assume that this is happening because Java2d id reaching out to the OS for font rendering. Since I'm operating in headless mode, though, I'd expect two PNG's to be byte for byte identical. If anyone can tell me how to do this I's appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jim
PS - Using Java 5, could move to 6 if a solution necessitated it, but would be a hassle.

JDK 5 and 6 uses same library to rasterize text and this library is not platform dependent.
But most of fonts are platform and even system dependent.
If you want identical images you need to be sure that same fonts are being used.
E.g. try to use Lucida Sans font shipped with JDK.
Note that if requested font is not available it will be substituted with default font.
Also note that logic fonts (e.g. Dialog) are always availbale but they are actually mapped to set of
platform dependent fonts.

Otf fonts not being recognised any more

Hi
I have the problem that all opentype fonts are not being recognised any more. I am not sure if it started with kde 4.2.2 or the latest freetype update. All I see is the icon for an openoffice template but no other options.
Does anyone know how to repair this?
David

All otf-fonts are not recognised as fonts as if the mime-type is missing (which it isn't). I can use them and force kfontview or kfontinst to open them. MinionPro shouldn't have a license problem. And for example in systemsettings I can select installed otf fonts like Minion or Myriad. Before, everything was fine no matter which font. I can't confirm any general linux problem with fonts.
@Evanlec: Yes it is really annoying that openoffice can't use them. I think it can use ttf based otf fonts. Luckily I use Latex almost exclusively so that it doesn't matter so much. For designers I would recommend scribus and inkscape anyway.

Linux and JavaFX - blurry

So IBM has switched my work laptop to Linux, which has inspired me to try to package my JavaFX app in Linux (right now I have a PC and MAC version).
But everything looks blurry! I know Linux apparently has FONT issue, but is there anything I can do so my app doesn't look like crap running on Linux?

I wanted to know if i tried linux would it work.

T410 + Ubuntu Lucid: Two Weeks of Use (the Good, the Bad, the Ugly)

System
Lenovo ThinkPad T410 laptop, Integrated Intel Graphics, Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 wireless.
Fixed
Resume did not work after second suspend. Fixed by updating BIOS. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/532374
Font antialiasing misconfiguration that made small fonts look bad; had to edit ~/.fonts.conf manually to defeat the system preventing antialiasing at small font sizes. Screen is small (14") but has very high resolution (1440x900), so this seems to work ok here.
Evolution doesn't autocomplete the email addresses of people you communicate with regularly. Fixed: turn on automatic contacts and autocomplete.
Printer config didn't work til I changed system-config-printer to not use the Python on the user path: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/328657
Emacs copy/cut (meta-W, ctrl-W) doesn't put the text being operated on into the X clipboard. Likewise, putting something into the X clipboard doesn't make it possible to paste it into Emacs via ctrl-Y. Fixed via:
(global-set-key "\C-w" 'clipboard-kill-region)
(global-set-key "\M-w" 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
(global-set-key "\C-y" 'clipboard-yank)

Toggle state of hardware mute button and software mute button not synchronized. If you hit the hardware mute button, it lights. If you subsequently unmute via software, the sound is umuted, but the hardware mute button remains lit. Pressing the lit hardware mute button in that state will result in the hardware mute button becoming unlit but the sound muted. Seems to have gotten fixed in upgrade to 2.6.34-999-generic kernel while trying to fix USB resume issue.
USB broken after resume: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/566149 . (Installed http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2010-05-06-lucid/ aka kernel version 2.6.34-999-generic as per the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds while waiting for "official" kernel update from Ubuntu).
Outstanding
Sometimes Bluetooth icon in indicator applet shows a red X next to it, sometimes it doesn't. I haven't bothered with Bluetooth yet, so I don't know why it's changing state.
Sometimes audio mute button stops working. What's in syslog: keyboard.c: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 240 for each button press. Not sure why it works sometimes and not others.
HDMI audio probably busted with installation of http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2010-05-06-lucid/ to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/5661492. KDE came up and warned me the device had disappeared when I rebooted with the new kernel.
Complete system lockups at various points (maybe once every couple days) requiring a hard power reset. I haven't been able to distinguish a pattern yet. Might be related to the wireless errors below; someone else claimed that a similar wireless card got hot enough under Linux to cause disconnects and weird system behavior. I haven't seen crazy temperatures yet though.
Wireless network card (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200, using the iwlagn driver) freaks out every 20 minutes or so and "restarts" (whatever that means). Seems to be a firmware problem. Symptom: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x2000000. in syslog. sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off doesn't fix it, upgrade to 2.6.34.99 kernel didn't fix it, can't seem to find any newer firmware to try than what's in http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-6000-ucode-9.193.4.1.tgz.

WTF in syslog, every so often: wpa_supplicant[1196]: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED - Disconnect event - remove keys plus about 10 other lines of gibberish.

At boot time, xdpyinfo | grep resolution still reports wrong DPI (reported: 96x96; actual: 120x120) and screen size (reported: 381x238mm; actual: 300x190mm) even after generating an xorg.conf and adding a DisplaySize 300 190 to the single Section "Monitor" in the config. This doesn't seem to be harming anything, but I don't know really what uses this info. Using xrandr -dpi 120 fixes the resolution and screen size reported by xdpyinfo.
Firefox is a problem child for display at 120DPI (native screen DPI); some fonts are huge or tiny when they shouldn't be. Setting the layout.css.dpi in about:config to 120 seems to have no effect. This makes Firefox unusable for me on this system. Thankfully, Google Chrome doesn't have the same problem.
Fingerprint reader unsupported.
When bringing up a backgrounded Emacs window, sometimes Emacs refuses to give me control of the point in that window until I sacrifice the chicken of selecting any item from that window's menu bar.
Emacs acts upon first click of any frame; clicking in a background emacs window reposititions the point in that window. I tried to fix this by adding (setq x-mouse-click-focus-ignore-position t) to my .emacs file as per http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Mouse-Commands.html. This actually solved the problem: the first click of a window no longer repositioned the point. Unfortunately, contrary to the docs and contrary to the experience of somebody else in #emacs on freenode IRC, this setting also makes the mouse useless for selecting text, moving the point, or scrolling the window text in emacs. It just won't do any of those things for me anymore when this option is set. I can't even shift click on a window to set the font size. This symptom is worse than the problem I was trying to solve by doing it, so I left it off.
Audio CD burning doesn't work from Rhythmbox: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/brasero/+bug/543892
Pulse Audio advertises airport express send capability; it doesn't actually work (very choppy playback, unlistenable). http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/495#comment:23
Opening Rhythmbox from the applications menu doesn't actually open the main window, it just creates a toolbar icon. You then need to know enough to go click on "Show Rhythmbox" in the toolbar icon dropdown.
Konversation: sometimes the mouse pointer "disappears" while hovering over the nick list and the channel list. Only fixed by a restart of Konversation (closing the window and restoring it from the system tray doesn't help).
Cut and paste is, as always, horrific. You need to use Shift-Ctrl-C in the Gnome terminal vs. Ctrl-C in other Gnome apps; Emacs meta-W doesn't put things onto the X clipboard by default, etc. I really don't understand why you can't remap cut copy and paste under Gnome. If you could remap the Gnome keybindings for cut, paste, copy, etc, I'd bind copy to Windowskey-C, paste to Windowskey-V, cut to Windowskey-X, and Undo to Windowskey-Z. Then at least for all Gnome apps that followed the system keybindings, most of the pain would disappear, because the cutnpaste shortcuts wouldn't step on alternate meanings.
Still doesn't look quite as nice as the Mac does, dispite newer and better video and display hardware, no matter how many hours I spend messing around with display settings, font settings, etc.

Not sure how you figure it's an "advanced router" problem. I'd be happy to buy a different router, but I'd need to be told which one to buy. The router I'm connecting to is a barebones Linksys WRT54G (the blue and black one with the two antennas that you see everywhere). These routers are maybe the most common router on the planet, AFAICT.
I have also seen Compiz lockups, but I didn't mention those in the above; the lockups I'm seeing are true system lockups. The system stops responding to any input on network, so it cannot even be restarted remotely.

Samsung 930b LCD text blurry

I have an Samsung 930b 19” connected to my mac-mini via the mac-mini’s DVI to VGA converter. Previously I had a CRT connected to the Macmini and the text was clearer. The text is blurry now with the LCD. I’ve tried many resolutions and the text still is not as clear as the CRT. Is the solution to buy a DVI cable and use the DVI. Will the DVI make the difference?

I just picked up a Samsung 730b, and noticed the same thing. As the other poster advised, I also found that "light" font smoothing was key to improving the clarity. Also, tweak the "sharpness", and "fine" settings on the display (via the OSD menu). I'd make a note of how they're set before you move them. I also found that "graphite" seems to look more eye pleasing overall. Though I found that a DVI cable made virtually no difference on my Viewsonic/Windows XP MCE box, it surely didn't hurt, and I was able to grab one for about $14 for that setup. I just ordered another for the mini/Samsung, and hope to have it in a few days. Worst case, I'm out $14, but it might make a significant difference.
Being new to the Mac world, I can't say what's different or better about the Apple displays, as I see them setup in stores. Certainly, the iMac and desktop machines I've seen with Apple monitors look outstanding. What I see with my current setup, is much like I saw when I ran Linux. The fonts just never seemed to me to be of the quality and sharpness that I've been able to get on a Windows machine, which far less fiddling.
Until I get the DVI cable, I can't say for sure, but at this point, either:
1) It'll take the $14 cable to have a terrific looking display.
or
2) It'll take a truckload of cash to get an Apple display to have a terrific looking display.
I'm hoping it's #1.

Apache FOP configuration file

Hello
Everything is ok with Apache FOP with APEX.
But, where should I put fop.xconf file in Linux (Ubuntu) with font information?

Solved. You should add following:
fopFactory.setUserConfig(new File("/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/j2ee/home/applications/fop/fop.xconf"));
before the line
Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, foUserAgent, response.getOutputStream());
in /usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/j2ee/home/applications/fop/fop/apex_fop.jsp
Of course, fop.xconf should point Apache FOP to the right fonts path :)
