DejaVu News IV.

Let's talk about DejaVu fonts.

Another One Eaten

Another Bitstream Vera derivative, now discontinued SuSE standard fonts, was eaten by us. That added six new glyphs to our fonts. On the road to full Latin Extended-A coverage ten glyphs with comma below (or comma accent or cedilla or what other names it had over the years) were added too. There are also some kerning fixes.

Test version 1.11 yourself.

DejaVu News III.

Here I am again with latest news from the world of DejaVu fonts.

Almost cancelled

2.0 or 1.10? This question was answered with the release of version 1.10. It almost got cancelled because of lack of approved changes, but luckily two new glyphs and a few bug fixes catched in (only one week late).

DejaVu News II.

Today it's exactly one year since the release of DejaVu fonts 1.0 (but first public release is even older).

What was last month like for DejaVu fonts? Let's find out now.

Not shining, but still good

Version 1.9 was released today. Almost none of the goals was achieved, but at least the Arev Cyrillic was integrated.

Media Sanatorium

Because I have plenty of room on the server I decided to create Media Sanatorium for media files with accessibility problems. There is e.g. first Czech anime Once Upon a Time at the Bus-stop (pages in Czech, movie in Czech and English). If someone needs a space for his/hers video/audio/whatever, send a mail.

Intrusion Confusion

Intrusion Confusion is a short funny kung-fu movie. Its music and sound effects are so stupid (in a good sense) that I can't stop giggling. Heh, heh, heh.

My Day With SLAX

Post-post disclaimer: I described here my experiences with SLAX 4.2. New SLAX 5 is much better and can e.g. switch automounting off. Also the paragraph on fsck is not true, because SLAX does not use it. Strange things happen in my head.

Several weeks ago I burned SLAX, the live Linux, onto a CD. I wanted to try it, but because my Slackware was working well I did not have to. But, suddenly, the opportunity was there: my hard drive failed.

DejaVu News I.

Welcome to the first installment of irregular DejaVu News bringing you the latest and greatest from the world of DejaVu fonts.

We did it again with 1.8

Yes, version 1.8 was released almost on time, but without any big changes, only all accents in experimental typefaces were fixed.

But at least we jumped over one percent in freshmeat.net's Popularity rank.

Mozilla Firefox: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Because Slackware switched to Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Foundation nearly abandonned Mozilla Suite I thought I'll give Firefox a try.
