  • symbols from bbding.sty get munged by plastex

    The bbding.sty package provides access to a large number of symbols. The crux of the style is: \fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{ding}\selectfont\symbol{#1} which provides a particular character. The attached .tex file has two such dings in it (a tick and a cross) -- latex renders this to a dvi file with these characters in it, whereas plastex renders them as: Uding...

  • Comment: os.popen4 is deprecated

    While fixing the pyx library is the obvious long-term solution, those who are annoyed by this warning and just want to suppress it can add the following lines either to their own python script or to the pyx/text.py file that is part of pyx. import warnings warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", r".*popen.*", DeprecationWarning, "pyx\.text")

  • Followup: RE: Changing menu headings

    There's a little bit of old code that's not used any more in the 1.0.x menu.php file that looks like it sets up the menu. The code is actually commented out so it does nothing. Sorry for that! Have a look instead at inc/actions/actions.php where you will find a _populate() function that instead defines all the menu entries. If you think that your alternate names are useful to others...

  • Followup: RE: Reporting error

    If you want to use PDF export, you need to install the FPDF PDF library http://bumblebeeman.sourceforge.net/documentation/install It's very simple to install from the archive provided by the FPDF project, or if you are running Debian linux, you could just "aptitude install php-fpdf". With the include_path shown in your error message, unzipping the FPDF download into...

  • Followup: RE: Alternative download location

    The java-imaging-utilities package is now included in the Debian archive: http://packages.debian.org/sid/libjiu-java which means that the mentors.debian.net link above no longer works. As there are quite a few projects making use of this library, it would be great if someone steps up to continue developing it.

  • Fails to build with upcoming gcc 4.4 (patch)

    Hi! With the upcoming release of gcc 4.4, Martin Michlmayr has been testing Debian packages for potential problems. As with other recent versions of gcc, this version is increasingly strict about missing preprocessor include directives. Rosegarden fails to build with the current gcc 4.4 snapshot in the debian archive (4.4.0 20090107, trunk revision 143170). Martin's work is documented in...

  • Comment: Diff pasted text rather than just files

    It's not that I didn't try first.... Yes, Ctrl+V does work. Thanks! After quite some time trying to work out what I was doing the other day which led me to file this bug, I have worked out the problem -- trying to paste from the X selection buffer (middle-mouse-button) does not work. Any chance you can enable that? thanks, Stuart.

  • Diff pasted text rather than just files

    I frequently want to diff text that has come from the output of a program or from another computer. Rather than having to copy files from machine to machine or create tempfiles with the output in them, it would be much easier if I could paste the text to be different into kdiff3 and have it deal with this for me. I usually want both A and B to be sourced from the clipboard (from two...
