Re: [CSCMail-Users] 1.7.x error

[rroberts <rro...@ho...>]

Actually I got this error with v1.6.1 when I tried to run cscmail as a
normal user but not as root. I had forgotten about that.

But with this v1.7 I get the error either way as root or a normal user
account.

copying over the pixmaps did solve the initial problem of getting the
program to load. Now the program will startup but when I go click a
message to view it, either html or plain text, I get:

[root@homenet /root]# HTML Widget is: GtkHTML
Usage: Gtk::HTML::begin(html, url) at /usr/bin/cscmail line 1753.

and the program dies with no other warnings.

Ok, the api for the GtkHTML widget (and CscHTML widget for that matter) changed
recently...

I recommend you grab a copy of CscHTML from http://www.cscmail.net/cschtml or
upgrade your current copy of GtkHTML (and the perl bindings...)

CscHTML is GtkHTML without the GNOME dependancies, and I am hacking in new
features... For example I am just now finishing up support for <font face=>
tags... Plus the option to do csc_html_set_default_font() and
csc_html_allow_font_switch() so that users can force a specific font (say
fixed...) for viewing mail, even with the HTML widget.

Will it be possible to select text for copying, as we can with GtkText?

Yes, GtkHTML (and therefore CscHTML) supports normal X style copy/paste
operations.

Right now the only differences between GtkHTML and CscHTML are the
following:

GtkHTML requires GNOME and several other libs (gnome-print, gconf, oaf,
bonobo, corba, gdk-pixbuf, libart, gtk, and many more!)

CscHTML requires gdk-pixbuf, libart, and gtk.  Thats it!

CscHTML has added support for <font face=fontname> tags, plus a
programmers API for "set default font" and "allow font switch"	This lets
an application developer force a specific font on any HTML document,
overriding the documents own font selections.  (ie: in CSCMail, the "use
this font to view messages" option now WORKS! hehe)

CscHTML's perl bindings have been updated to support the new font
features

Some people have noticed that CscHTML seems to be a little faster than
GtkHTML, but there is no concrete proof of this.
