Distorted fonts in (jre+Linux) Client but ok in (jre+Windows) client

We are doing the feasibility for using linux desktops in our company.
In Linux desktop clinents, the Oracle AS forms are shown in distorted fonts and lot of alignment issues. Whereas, Windows client shows the alignment perfectly.
Any body experienced the same issue ?
regards,
Rajkiran.

See this documentation http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/fontconfig.html for details.
The JDK also uses a system property to set the font paths but I don't have it handy...

Pdf printing with linux client

hi,
i'm working with a SuSE 9.3 Client and I want to use PDF-Printing with the Acrobat Reader. With Windows Xp it works fine, but if i choose the PDF-Printer with the Linux-Client nothing happens. The PDF-Job exist in the cue. What do i have to do that it works?
P.S. I`am from germany ;-)

Thanks! But on which machine do i have to put the lp command?
Application-Server?
Tarantella Server?
Client?
I have put it on my Client! But nothinng happens.

How to install Type 1 fonts into JRE?

I am trying to generate Type 1 font postscript file by java. And I have successfully installed Type 1 fonts in both Windows and Linux operation system. But when I use following Java code to display the available system fonts, there are no Type 1 fonts displayed.
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
Font[] fonts = ge.getAllFonts();
for (int i = 0, length = fonts.length; i < length; i++) {
System.out.println(fonts.getName());
Then I copied all the Type 1 fonts to JRE/lib/fonts dir and modified the fonts.dir to append Type 1 fonts information. But preceding java code returns the same result to me, also no Type 1 fonts displayed.
How can I install Type 1 fonts into JRE?
Thanks!

Thank you Jeff.
Welcome to the forum McDermottPhotography,
You will need to download and install the ttf (true type font again) on your new machine. I am not sure if the following is the font that you are referring to, but here is one named similiarly http://www.fontpalace.com/font-details/Chisel+Thin+Normal/.

Run webform 6i on Linux client

Did anyone succesfully used webforms on a linux client? We have tried but encountered problems with the font in the form which is too small (linux client only). We hope to resolve this as the windows98 clients crash too much.

Oracle6i for Windows7 64 bit, please download the PATCH17. It is work fine. If you couldn't download the patch so please email me (*[email protected]*), I can send the patch by email.

Configuring fonts in jre

I have Linux, fedora 9.
I need help with configuring fonts in JRE.
I need to use Korean fonts but they don't appear good.
I can see only half of them:
[http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/7075/screenshotjvltselectfonpn0.png|http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/7075/screenshotjvltselectfonpn0.png]
Is there a way to configure this?
Am i asking in the right place?
Edited by: O_ktal on Jun 26, 2008 9:13 AM

I can confirm this and changing the . -> * doesn't do anything. urxvt seems to be prefering the fontconfig DPI and antialias settings now and this was not the default behavior before (I don't think anyway. Although, I don't recall the last time that I edited the DPI info in my fontconfig settings). For instance, these are the relevant lines from .Xresources:
Xft*dpi: 102
Xft*antialias: 1
Xft*rgba: rgb
Xft*autohint: 0
Xft*lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft*hinting: 1
Xft*hintstyle: hintfull
This helps GTK to behave the way that I want it to, but changes nothing in urxvt. But since urxvt is already doing what I want it to do, I didn't notice.
By the way, I'm not using infinality. I am using all of the fonts from the bundle except for DejaVu* and DejaVu Sans Mono is what I'm testing against.

Font differs from Linux and Windows ?

Hi, i just want to ask, are fonts different from windows and linux in applet. I use a standard courier font.
For example, if i make an applet with courier font texts in linux, and make the texts wrap themselves, they will run ok in linux. But if i run the compiled applet in windows, the wrapped text somewhow got truncated.
But if i compile the applet in windows, it will look ok in linux and windows.
I've tried replacing my courier fonts in my /usr/java/jdk/jre/lib/fonts/cour*.ttf with the cour*.ttf from c:\windows\fonts with no effects .. Applets compiled and run ok in linux doesnt work in windows. They must be compiled in windows to run ok in both.
Why is that ?
Does the compilation use the fonts in the jdk lib or the system fonts ?
I'm so confused T_T
Please Help

How do I get Mac OS 10.4.4 and Word X for Mac to see
all the characters in the Word for PC document
formatted in Times New Roman?
There's no way with Office X, which can't do Unicode Greek. You need to upgrade to Office 2004 which is Unicode-savvy and installs in your Mac the same Times New Roman with Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, and Arabic which is used by WinXP. An alternative might be AbiWord or NeoOffice/J.

Applet font problem between linux and windows

I just want to share my experience in several project i've taken part.
In some projects, where all are developed under linux environment (suse 9.2),
we use jasper report for report generation and use the web applet for our clients to print.
They print ok in linux env, with the netscape 7.1, courier 10 font and jvm 1.4.2_06b version.
But when accessed from windows env, with the same browser and the same jvm version, the applet and the print out are different from those of lin env. The headers and footers are missing. When the we edit/lower the header and footer size at the jasper report file, then they appears @ the window env.
So strange that the font handling between win and lin differ (still my assumption). I'vent been able to solve this problem totally since the client must stick with one OS else the print out will be different.
Quite dissatisfied, coz i really think i could code once the report and run it anywhere in the applet and behaves in the same way.
Could anybody help ? T-T
Regards,
Albert Gan

hi!
this is my first post and i would like to ask if how did you create the web applet printing. im totally new to java and i dont know where to start.
i hope that you can guide me or give me some instructions. thanks in advance =)

New files and folders on a Linux client mounting a Windows 2012 Server for NFS share do not inherit Owner and Group when SetGID bit set

Problem statement
When I mount a Windows NFS service file share using UUUA and set the Owner and Group, and set the SetGID bit on the parent folder in a hierarchy. New Files and folders inside and underneath the parent folder do not inherit the Owner and Group permissions
of the parent.
I am given to understand from this Microsoft KnowledgeBase article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951716/en-gb) the problem is due to the Windows implmentation of NFS Services not supporting the Solaris SystemV or BSD grpid "Semantics"
However the article says the same functionality can acheived by using ACE Inheritance in conjunction with changing the Registry setting for "KeepInheritance" to enable Inheritance propagation of the Permissions by the Windows NFS Services.
1. The Precise location of the "KeepInheritance" DWORD key appears to have "moved" in Windows Server 2012 from a Services path to a Software path, is this documented somewhere? And after enabling it, (or creating it in the previous
location) the feature seems non-functional. Is there a method to file a Bug with Microsoft for this Feature?
2. All of the references on demonstrating how to set an ACE to achieve the same result "currently" either lead to broken links on Microsoft technical websites, or are not explicit they are vague or circumreferential. There are no plain Examples.
Can an Example be provided?
3. Is UUUA compatible with the method of setting ACE to acheive this result, or must the Linux client mount be "Mapped" using an Authentication source. And could that be with the new Flat File passwd and group files in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
and is there an Example available.
Scenario:
Windows Server 2012 Standard
File Server (Role)
+- Server for NFS (Role) << -- installed
General --
Folder path: F:\Shares\raid-6-array
Remote path: fs4:/raid-6-array

I'm making some "major" progress on this problem.
1. Apparently the "semantics" issue to honor SGID or grpid in NFS on the server side or the client side has been debated for some time. It also existed as of 2009 between Solaris nfs server and Linux nfs clients. The Linux community defaulted to declaring
it a "Server" side issue to avoid "Race" conditions between simultaneous access users and the local file system daemons. The client would have to "check" for the SGID and reformulate its CREATE request to specify the Secondary group it would have to "notice"
by which time it could have changed on the server. SUN declined to fix it.. even though there were reports it did not behave the same between nfs3 vs nfs4 daemons.. which might be because nfs4 servers have local ACL or ACE entries to process.. and a new local/nfs
"inheritance" scheme to worry about honoring.. that could place it in conflict with remote access.. and push the responsibility "outwards" to the nfs client.. introducing a race condition, necessitating "locking" semantics.
This article covers that discovery and no resolution - http://thr3ads.net/zfs-discuss/2009/10/569334-CR6894234-improved-sgid-directory-compatibility-with-non-Solaris-NFS-clients
2. A much Older Microsoft Knowledge Based article had explicit examples of using Windows ACEs and Inheritance to "mitigate" the issue.. basically the nfs client "cannot" update an ACE to make it "Inheritable" [-but-] a Windows side Admin or Windows User
[-can-] update or promote an existing ACE to "Inheritable"
Here are the pertinent statements -
"In Windows Services for UNIX 2.3, you can use the KeepInheritance registry value to set inheritable ACEs and to make sure that these ACEs apply to newly created files and folders on NFS shares."
"Note About the Permissions That Are Set by NFS Clients
The KeepInheritance option only applies ACEs that have inheritance enabled. Any permissions that are set by an NFS client will
only apply to that file or folder, so the resulting ACEs created by an NFS client will
not have inheritance set."
"So
If you want a folder's permissions to be inherited to new subfolders and files, you must set its permissions from the Windows NFS server because the permissions that are set by NFS clients only apply to the folder itself."
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321049
3. I have set up a Windows 2008r2 NFS server and mounted it with a Redhat Enteprise Linux 5 release 10 x86_64 server [Oct 31, 2013] and so far this does appear to be the case.
4. In order to mount and then switch user to a non-root user to create subdirectories and files, I had to mount the NFS share (after enabling Anonymous AUTH_SYS mapping) this is not a good thing, but it was because I have been using UUUA - Unmapped Unix
User Access Mapping, which makes no attempt to "map" a Unix UID/GID set by the NFS client to a Windows User account.
To verify the Inheritance of additional ACEs on new subdirectories and files created by a non-root Unix user, on the Windows NFS server I used the right click properties, security tab context menu, then Advanced to list all the ACEs and looked at the far
Column reflecting if it applied to [This folder only, or This folder and Subdirectories, or This folder and subdirectories and files]
5. All new Subdirectories and files createdby the non-root user had a [Non-Inheritance] ACE created for them.
6. I turned a [Non-Inheritance] ACE into an [Inheritance] ACE by selecting it then clicking [Edit] and using the Drop down to select [This folder, subdirs and files] then I went back to the NFS client and created more subdirs and files. Then back to the
Windows NFS server and checked the new subdirs and folders and they did Inherit the Windows NFS server ACE! - However the UID/GID of the subdirs and folders remained unchanged, they did not reflect the new "Effective" ownership or group membership.
7. I "believe" because I was using UUUA and working "behind" the UID/GID presentation layer for the NFS client, it did not update that presentation layer. It might do that "if" I were using a Mapping mechanism and mapped UID/GID to Windows User SIDs and
Group SIDs. Windows 2008r2 no longer has a "simple" Mapping server, it does not accept flat text files and requires a Schema extension to Active Directory just to MAP a windows account to a UID/GID.. a lot of overhead. Windows Server 2012 accepts flat text
files like /etc/passwd and /etc/group to perform this function and is next on my list of things to see if that will update the UID/GID based on the Windows ACE entries. Since the Local ACE take precedence "over" Inherited ACEs there could be a problem. The
Inheritance appears to be intended [only] to retain Administrative rights over user created subdirs and files by adding an additional ACE at the time of creation.
8. I did verify from the NFS client side in Linux that "Even though" the UID/GID seem to reflect the local non-root user should not have the ability to traverse or create new files, the "phantom" NFS Server ACEs are in place and do permit the function..
reconciling the "view" with "reality" appears problematic, unless the User Mapping will update "effective" rights and ownership in the "view"

Machinarium - a new game with a Linux client

Machinarium is an indie adventure game written in Flash.
You steer a small robot through a wonderfully painted robot world. To get a feel of the game play, you can play Samorost, an earlier game by the developers, for free or try the demo.
To get the disclaimer out of the way: I've no affiliation to the developers, but I liked the game and pre-ordered after it won the Excellence In Visual Art competition at this year's IGF.
Yesterday I downloaded the client and started playing. It works nicely on my computer (1.6GHz C2D, 1GB, GMA950, Arch i686). The graphics are beautiful and the puzzles are so far (I played only the first section) on the same high level as Samorost 1+2.
According to the web site the game is only 32bit and needs a minimum resolution of 1024x768, with 1280x800 or higher recommended. The developers also recommend to disable flash hardware acceleration.
You can find more information and a demo at the website at http://www.machinarium.com/ , where you can also buy the game for $20.
P.S. I'm writing here because I believe in supporting developers who offer Linux versions of their games. I bought Penumbra, WoG, Prey and now Machinarium for this reason. If you like the game (there's a demo), please consider buying it to show your support for studios developing for Linux, too.

Mh, so far there has been one screen (kind of a plaza) where the game became sluggish and the fan got loud...the game itself is still a lot of fun and the puzzles are good and logical, although I managed to overlook an obvious switch and had to look at in-game help once.
I'm not sure you can say they support Linux development as it's designed for flash (a cross-environment program).
I agree that Linux support is probably not intentionally, but they saw the possibility and offer a Linux version on Launch day.
Linux gaming is in a very sorry state - just take a look at the still missing UT3 client or the sound problems with Prey. And these are games which are (were promised to be) supported - almost no developer cares about Linux as a platform.
I believe that when I buy the games of and talk about those few developers who do care about Linux, I might convince more developers that there's a market for Linux games.
When I pre-ordered Machinarium, I communicated clearly that I bought the game because they thought about offering a Linux client. I'm glad they did in the end. The same for Osmos - I pre-ordered the game (it's a very relaxing experience) and I pledged to buy it again when the Linux client is released.

Print services and linux clients

Hi,
I'm installing a Windows Server 2012R2 as a printer server. It must give support to all kind of clients (windows, os x and linux).
Then, I must use event id 307 and 805 to count printed pages.
My question is related with event 307 and linux clients. I'm asking linux users to configure their CUPS to connect using samba printer, for example, \\server\printer001 but when I check event id, I get no file name (Remote Downlevel Document), and most important,
I get 0 printed pages in param8. I did some testing using IPP, but I were not able to configure a printer in linux (couldn't manage to make linux clients to validate with their domain user account when using IPP). I tried configuring printer on server to render
jobs in server with no luck. Tried PS drivers just in case it was easier to CUPS to send info to server, but no luck either.
So, basically, is there any way to configure server (or linux client) so I get page count in event 307 in printservice? If I must configure IPP printing, how may clients configure their printers to validate using domain accounts?
Thanks!

Hi,
Sorry for delaying in reply.
Linux clients see page count. I've paused printing and checked some documents. Property page from a linux client document shows as this:
Documents sent from windows clients show same but they've document name and page count.
SPL archive copied from spooler printer on Windows server shows that info is present too:

NAC with Linux client

Hi,
I have some Linux clients. When they connects to the trusted network in the first time, they are redirected to NAC login page and are required to download java runtime. I set policies so that linux client can download java and install it, but after that, the web browers (firefox) on linux client still not allow NAC login page to be loaded.
What is the root cause in this case ?
Any guy can help me!
Best regards,
NamNT

Folks, the problem is due to the fact that there are no web agents available for linux at this time. You need to create a new user page for linux with all java options disabled ( such as the one for mac address checking , ip address refresh etc ) . Make this user page on the top of the list. Also, under clean access requirements, make sure 'require use of web agent' is disabled for linux. This way, there will be web redirection and authentication only for linux clients ( no posture possible for linux ).
Thanks,
Mani

Linux client MAC address getting failure (Mr. Francois)

Hi Mr.Francois
I am using your client information form. Thank you.
But in Linux client
shows
IP & MAC addresses are blank
Any idea !
Regards

Because you did not provide details about which Forms version or client platform you are using it will be difficult to offer specifics. However, if you are using Forms 10.1.2.3 or newer, I would recommend trying to run the WebUtil demo form as it includes functionality to capture the client details. You can download the WebUtil demo from here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html
It is listed under Forms 11g Demos, but the WebUtil demo is compatible with version 10 and newer. If you have never used this demo (or WebUtil) before, be aware that some features only work on Windows clients. Additionally, some features only work on Windows (32bit) clients.

Linux Clients Unable to Connect to VPN

Hello all,
There are a few linux clients that need to be able to access our OS X VPN server but I have been unsuccessful at setting up a connection. I have enabled PPTP and windows clients can connect just fine, but using the linux network manager, I cannot connect, I just get a 'Connection Failed' message. I have tried both locally and via internet.
Has anyone had success connecting a linux machine to the os x vpn? Any configuration ideas? I can post the vpn logs if that would help.
Thanks
Greg

Greg,
I've never gotten this working either, and I'm surprised how little information I found after hours of googling and reading. Have you made any headway?

Linux client

Is there a linux client ?

any plan on developing a linux software that can support ichat audio video ?
Not going to speculate anything, but audio and video are considered as "extensions" to standard ports to my understanding.
You might want to try other IM service/software.

Novell Linux Client Auto launch

Hello I had a question about having the Novell Linux Client launch immediately after the user logs into their SLED system user their local user name and password. On NLD 9 desktops I was able to go into small launcher program (I cannot remember what it was called, sorry) and I could add the Novell Client to that launcher program. Then when the user logged into the NLD 9 desktop the Novell client for Linux would launch, and they could add in their user name and password for the NetWare servers, processing login scripts, etc. Does anyone know how that can be accomplished with SLED 10 SP2 or SLED 11? I have tried to add the Novell client to the system tray which is not exactly the same things that I am looking to accomplish. Also what is the Novell client version that should be used with both of those desktops? I am mainly using SLED 10 SP2 but I have started to work with SLED 11 thank you.

You want to add the Novell Login app to the startup, gnwlogin. The tray
app, ncl_tray, is started automatically.
