[SOLVED] Looking for URW Gothic L font in .ttf format (...)

Hi,
I'm able to use URW Gothic L font while writing in OpenOffice.org, as default font for Conky and PyPanel (all with working Polish letters like - Ł, ł, Ó, ó, Ś, ś, Ż, ż, Ź, ź, Ę, ę, Ć, ć). Recently I wanted to test bmpanel with Arch theme. So I edited the theme config file and changed
clock_font DejaVuSans-14
to
clock_font URWGothicL-14
You can imagine how suprised I was, when executing bmpanel had no effect, but when I tried to lunch it from the terminal everything was (nearly) clear. Here's the output:
> bmpanel arch
starting bmpanel with theme: arch
only ttf files are supported
failed to load font: URWGothicL-14
fatal loading error
failed to load theme: arch
So it seems that URW Gothic L is not in .ttf format. I've looked through all known to me folders containing fonts, but with no luck. Where the hell is it stored?
These are font packages installed in my system (hope these are all of them, but maybe you know a better way of displaying a list of all font packages installed):
extra/gsfonts 8.11-4 [installed]
extra/ttf-dejavu 2.28-1 [installed]
extra/ttf-ms-fonts 2.0-2 [installed]
extra/xorg-fonts-100dpi 1.0.1-1 [installed] (xorg)
extra/xorg-fonts-75dpi 1.0.1-2 [installed] (xorg)
extra/xorg-fonts-alias 1.0.1-1 [installed]
extra/xorg-fonts-encodings 1.0.2-2 [installed]
extra/xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.0-3
Is there a way of getting URW Gothic L in proper .ttf format to use with bmpanel?
PS. If you need any other data, please say so, I'll provide it as fast as I can. I'm not an expert in those matters (yet ).
EDIT:
I've searched some more and it appears that Polish version of URW Gothic L is a Type1 font included in gsfonts package. Still searching for TTF equivalent or a maybe a way to make a Type1 font work with bmpanel.

Made it Thank you Skottish. That's why I like Arch community - if someone answers your question you may me sure it will be a helpful answer (well... in most cases).
For those who might have the same problem in the future - I choose a simple solution - Fontforge. It did the trick just fine.
EDIT:
Ops, reached the subject's length limit I'll need to cut it in order to add [SOLVED] there. Done.

Looking for help on good fonts to use in Illustrator

Hi,
I am new to Adobe illustrator, sort of making a migration from Fireworks. Can some one give me recommendation on some of the best fonts to use in Adobe illustrator for designing fonts.I am working on a school project for designing Fonts for Computer programming course that i will be giving.
thanks in advance

The fonts that come ( or used to anyways ) with CS apps ( goodies folder ) should give you plenty of decent fonts to get started with. Lengthy technical Whitepapers might look better using a serif font similar to Adobe Jenson Pro. Charts and graphs would look good using a sans serif like Myriad Pro. Subheads, heads, call-outs look good as Sans Serifs. Body copy reads better using serifs. You might take a look at other manuals similar to what you want to do and use them as a gauge for your manuals.

Looking for old-school "VT100" font ...

I'm just wondering if anyone has the old VT100 / VT102 system fonts that were used for coding back in the day. Everywhere I look says they were OS9 fonts, but I'd like to load it on my MacPro.
I'm doing a video project where I need that old, aliased font. Specifically, I'm trying to find an exact match for this font and I think VT100 would get me awfully close ...

Everywhere I look says they were OS9 fonts, but I'd like to load it on my MacPro.
That is correct. OS 9 supplied a legacy Mac TrueType font named VT102Font . These still do work in all versions of OS X. So if you have a copy of OS 9 around, or an older Mac running OS 9, you can copy the font to your new Mac.

[Solved] Looking for a simple music player

Hello there,
I'm looking for a music player for a box I'm currently building. I only need it to have a GUI, playlist support and random playing. I've thought of xmms2, but the standard package comes without GUI and I haven't found any clients with random playing.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

as simple as they get:
xmms: (not xmms2!)
audacious:
audacious is a form of bmp, which is a fork of xmms... they're all basicly the same, audacious is more up to date though.

[SOLVED] Looking for an audio player; specific requirements

I've searched around and can't really find what I'm looking for in an audio player(though Audacious and Exaile come close). What I need is one with these aspects:
- Based on GTK+
- Relatively lightweight
- Skinnable
I'd like something with a look similar to the Winamp "modern" skins, rather than the classic ones, but I can't find anything like this for Linux.

This makes your request impossible.
Nothing's impossible... creativity is key. I you can't achieve the look you're looking for natively, either code something yourself or look into running winamp through wine (here's an article on running winamp through wine if you're feeling lazy).

[SOLVED] looking for lightweight free ftp program for KDE

kioslaves are cool. i guess they were working for me and i didnt even know it. i especially like the audiocd one. and thanks for pointing out that asset, i will refer to it more often now that i know about it, and learn how to maximize the use for them.
using dolphin, i was having some problems initially (nothing to do with standard ftp however) because the directory is actually a 'webprotect' directory, so is accessed by as http://user.domain.com/location i had to manipulate the url for a while to get it to load as ftp://domain.com/public_html/users/uname/location, infact i couldnt log in at all using my username, i had to log into the server as root using this method. this is because the webprotect uses .htaccess for permissions, so as accessed from ftp:// i believe the server doesnt use the permissions from the .htaccess. so thats one hitch when using a filebrowser such as dolphin.
COOLEST thing i found so far, using the file browser, it supports RESUME. wow. thats nice! saves teh file as .part, then suggests a resume when transfer senses the file already exists.
im SURE there is a way around this, ill just have to play with it for a while. because i dont want to be logging in as root, i want to utilise the subdomain that i created for users access on the website storage folders.

[SOLVED]Looking for a tiling manager which supports multiple monitors

I use musca and I absolutely have no problems with it other than this :
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 04#p774104
I also tried emailing the musca distribution list but it bounced, so I am not sure how actively it is being maintained.
So I am on the lookout for a new tiling window manager. I know Xmonad supports multiple monitors, but I do not know haskell and I was hoping to find something else as well. Xmonad is also not a manual tiler.
So let me know if anyone of you knows of a tiler that has the above support.
EDIT : I have already looked at the Comparison of Tiling Window Managers over at the wiki. Infact I was the one who added Musca's entry in that table.

"i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time, didn't provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right, for example), had some bugs, didn't progress since quite some time and wasn't easy to hack at all (source code comments/documentation completely lacking). Still, we think the wmii developers and contributors did a great job. Thank you for inspiring us to create i3. "
To change the border of the current client, you can use bn to use the normal border (including window title), bp to use a 1-pixel border (no window title) and bb to make the client borderless. There is also bt which will toggle the different border styles.
Examples:
bindsym Mod1+t bn
bindsym Mod1+y bp
bindsym Mod1+u bb
or put in your config file
new_window bb

[Solved] Looking for arch's original man page color codes

Hey everyone. I'm new to arch, and enjoying having everything begin to work out for me. One thing I was wondering though is what the color codes are that the man pages use before X is loaded or anything similar.
Per the archwiki, I'm using the following to provide myself with colored man pages in urxvt:
From .Xresources:
! colored man pages on rxvt-unicode-256color
URxvt.colorIT: #87af5f
URxvt.colorBD: #d7d7d7
URxvt.colorUL: #87afd7
This works, but it's not the same colorscheme as what arch starts out with initially. Anyone know what that colorscheme is? Or where I could look to find it?

(I think) I was talking about the colors that the man pages are in the TTY. Specifically, my processes is:
Boot up arch
Login (X yet not started)
Look at a man page - like the colors
Startx - boot to window manager (i3)
Look at a man page - want to change the colors
That said, I liked the colors the man pages had before installing Arch quite a bit, and wouldn't object to learning what those are.

And honestly, at this point I think I can figure out what colorscheme I like given the info at hand. So I think we can call this one taken care of.

[SOLVED] Looking for a tiling WM with a certain feature

I've been using openbox/pekwm for a few years I recently tried tiling window managers again (tried them a few years ago and hated them) and I'm hooked but after trying just about all of the popular ones and reading the man pages/web sites I can't find any that have a certain feature I'd like (maybe I've just completely missed it). What I'd like is to have firefox in the master area (left hand side, about 50-60% width), whatever else I have open (usually one or two terminals and thunar) in the slave area and then pidgin buddy list open in a small thin area on the right hand side of the screen.
I'm not fussed about status/task bars or anything like that (but being able to add my own would be a bonus), prefer no window borders (like i3 or wmii) and would prefer something easy to configure (I don't mind learning haskell if xmonad is perfect for my needs but I'd rather avoid awesome as I've heard the config changes often and I'm not too keen on the built in task bar etc)
Thanks

descendent87 wrote:what's the difference in dynamic and manual tyling managers?
Dynamic tilers have one or more pre-defined layouts for you to choose from and arrange the frames accordingly, while in manual tilers, you choose the size/arrangement of frames yourself.
What I'd ideally like is something where I can set so that firefox/chromium/uzbl (whatever browser I'm using) always opens in the master area, pidgin always opens in the far right hand side and anything else (terminals, thunar, mplayer) always opens in the slave erea (inbetween web browser and pidgin).
Well, this is doable with musca, though I've never even tried to set it up that way Though it's probably along the lines of:
* Put commands in a ~/.musca_start file
* In this file, set up frames as you want using commands like hsplit, vsplit, etc.
* Set focus to the frame you want browser to appear in (also with above commands), start browser, dedicate frame to browser so no other window will appear in the same frame
* focus next frame, start Pidgin
* etc.
Unfortunately, this won't work with multiple browser windows, for example, since the dedicate command won't allow several browser windows to appear in the same frame. Also, my solution is *very* ugly (seems more like an Excel macro to me rather than a properly scripted solution ). There's probably a lot more possible with proper use of wmctrl, but I never got around doing much with it. If you really do want full control over your layout, I should probably recommend Xmonad, but I've had zero experience with it (a >500MiB ghc is a little spooky).

[solved] Looking for a simple YouTube video converter

Hello,
I am not a video expert and all my video editing is limited to converting my videos to a YouTube optimised format before uploading onto the platform.
At the moment I am using transcoder. However, I would prefer an other more minimal program which comes with predefined export profiles for optimal quality for YouTube.
Does anyone of you use a very minimal and leightweight converter which is sufficient for YouTube videos?
Regards

drcouzelis wrote:You only need to learn the optimal YouTube configuration for the crazy ffmpeg command line options once, and then you can just use that to convert your videos.
Since YouTube will re-encode anything you upload the best practice is to upload the original content. This isn't always practical of course, so you can re-encode it for a more manageable file size, but still high enough quality that it won't needlessly suffer when YouTube takes a dump on it. Here's an example that will work with ffmpeg from the repository, ffmpeg-1:1.0-2:
ffmpeg -i input -c:v libx264 -crf 18 -preset slow -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a copy output.mkv
The two options of interest are -crf and -preset. The basic methodology when using crf is to use the highest value that still gives you an acceptable quality and the slowest preset you have patience for. See FFmpeg and x264 Encoding Guide for more information. This example will also simply copy the audio from the input to the output. If you want to re-encode the audio, such as if your input audio is uncompressed, replace "-c:a copy" with "-c:a libmp3lame -q:a 3" or "-c:a libvorbis -q:a 6" for a high-quality output.

That is a terribly outdated example: it resizes the video to 320x240, changes the frame rate, and uses 800 bits/s for a video bitrate. That's bits, not kilobits!

[SOLVED] Looking for a terminal command or key binding to exit Openbox

I've searched the forums and googled, but I haven't been able to find the answer. I'm sure I've missed it somewhere...
I start my openbox session with 'startx' from the command line. I would like a terminal command or a key-binding to be able to exit openbox and return to the command line. I just don't like using the menu with my notebooks touchpad. I just can't seem to figure out what command is used. The menu.xml file lists the command as "Exit", but typing that in a terminal just exits the terminal.
Any help appreciated.
