Hint for Wine + Type1 + FrameMaker / Update for the Font HOWTO
by Dag Wieers 30 May '05

30 May '05

Hi Avi, Having spend endless hours looking for how to make Wine and Type1 fonts working together. I finally decided to convert my Type1 fonts to Truetype (after a hint by someone that Wine does not have Type1/Adobe support). Note: I'm not sure if this is true since there is a wine [afmdirs] section in the wine config. Wine still had troubles with (at least) some of the files. Converting Type1 fonts to Truetype fonts was easy and Framemaker actually has a hidden feature to find out which fonts are missing. When you load your FrameMaker document and you have missing fonts, it wants to reformat your file. After you allow that, just look at the available fonts, suddenly you have a few extra ones in the list that have been disabled. These are the fonts FrameMaker requires and couldn't find. Note down the names as they appear in the list, quit the document without saving (!), then go look for the Type1 fonts that match the name using grep. Open them in fontforge (http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/), if necessary change the Family Name to what you wrote down and safe it as a Truetype font. If you do that for all the files involved, everything works fine. I added this explanation to my document bits (for google) http://dag.wieers.com/howto/bits/wine-framemaker-type1.php So fontforge should definitely be part of the Font HOWTO and maybe something about Wine and Type1 support (and FrameMaker) too ? PS I included the Wine list too, as I looked there for answers first. I bet some more people will do the same and come across this thread. Hope this helps and thanks for a great resource, -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]

Re: tab: Shift selected tab text up instead of down

This will shrink tab text area instead of growing it. Also you missed note above about keeping TAB_DrawItem in sync with this part. All these numbers had been verified against native, including custom drawn tabs (see WM_DRAWITEM message). Vitaliy.

CRYPTPROTECT_LOCAL_MACHINE in CryptProtectData
by Michael Jung 30 May '05

30 May '05

Hi Kees, rsaenh uses your Crypt[Un]ProtectData functions for protecting the user's private keys, which are stored in the registry. For machine key pairs (which are keys that belong to the machine instead of a certain user), rsaenh needs support for the CRYPTPROTECT_LOCAL_MACHINE flag. On possible implementation would be to derive the key from the computer name (GetComputerName) instead of from the user's login name, if the flag is set. Would you mind implementing something like this? Bye, -- Michael Jung mjung(a)iss.tu-darmstadt.de

Re: [ddraw] Mipmap creation with DDSCAPS_COMPLEX, DDSCAPS_MIPMAP, and no mipmap count
by Lionel Ulmer 29 May '05

29 May '05

As already said by Mike, nice patch (and also nice test script). I think I was the one who added the previous comment (and it's true that I only tested it without the COMPLEX bit set). The only (minor) gripe I would have with this patch is the use of the 'log() / log()' to compute the mipmap count (I usually dislike floating point match - it's maybe my background in embedded programming where FPU are inexistant :-) )... I would have found it simpler to just have a 'while (min > 0) { min >>= 1; count += 1 }'. Lionel -- Lionel Ulmer - http://www.bbrox.org/

I am aware of the wiki and will peruse it carefully. Also, I will look through winehq and try to see what is new there. Please let me know if you think of anything else I should definitely be looking at. Also, it seems that my work may involve some autoconf tinkering... I have tried to study up on autoconf in the past, with disappointing results. Does anyone know what is a good beginner's resource for learning the gnu auto.* tools? Thanks! -- gmt

Serious Legal question - TLB(S)

26 May '05

Lets say I have an open source tool that I can compile with MinGW. That can open a COM DLL extract it's TLB and make an .IDL file out of it. Very similar to #import in msvc++ but to .IDL instead of a .H Let's say I use this tool on a component of a Commercial program Like for example Norton Anti Virus. Or any other product and/or component. Let's say I am a legal user of this component. Now what am I allowed to do with this .idl file: (??) 1. Nothing I must delete it and never do that again. 2. Use this idl to make a program that can interface that component, and I can also distribute such a program, as long as the user has a legal copy for that component. 3. I can use this idl to make my own implementation of that component. As long as I do not violate any patents on the way. And I can distribute that alternative implementation of that component. 4. I can Publish the component form 2 including the idl with an OSS compatible License. 5. I can Publish the component form 3 including the idl with an OSS compatible License What do you guys think. A TLB in a DLL is that making things public? Does any one know if this is at all addressed in EULA(s)? What does the law say if nothing is mentioned? what is the default? can I go up to a car Extract from the manual the size of the wheels and use third party wheels in it stead? Can I make My own cars that use the same wheels? Free Life Boaz
