Re: [Dillo-dev] Dillo-dev Digest, Vol 19, Issue 12

@ Miroslav Rovis:
Thank you, sir. I did not, at first, perceive that your comments were
addressed to me, but assumed they followed up on some topic raised
before I joined the list. But now that I have clicked your links, I
think maybe they were. But I confess that I have not yet been able to
understand. Are you saying I should change something in the source and
recompile Dillo? If so, would you mind saying exactly what file and
how I should change it?

I don't care so much that the fonts be pretty, just legible without
having to touch my nose to the monitor.

I'm on the waiting list for an email account at
protonmail.com
where I'll be philip....@protonmail.com
or maybe philip....@protonmail.ch
until the DIME project gets off the ground.

Because the Bill of Rights needs to be more than "a literary fiction".

They did so. They intend to belong to anoother thread if it becomes a
thread. And if it does, it ought to be under subject:

Google captcha and cached images at VDR Forum registration

http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-August/010635.html

LATER NOTE: or maybe you are talking about the other thread by the subject:

Gentoo live ebuild, WAS: Github..cookies

http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-August/010634.html

which does have converging (or common) points, with your issues.

But pls. don't worry, but rather keep up your efforts to learn, instead.

++++
You need to reply to the digest e-mail, when you post a question, by
also changing the subject line to reflect your query, as it says in the
digest, which you left in your email, you can find it in the text
further below, and here it is for your convenience:

> > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific
> > than "Re: Contents of Dillo-dev digest..."

++++
You can see that Jorge Arellano Cid, the leader of the Dillo project,
changed the cubject line when he replied to you, to read;

LATER NOTE (on second sending: also pls. reply to this mail, and to the
list, not like I replying only to you, in hurry as I was).

Re: [Dillo-dev] Dillo-dev Digest,v19#12 UI font size

and you can see I changed the subject line to read like Jorge did, to
keep it the same.

Also, you need to reply to emails by hitting the "Reply" button, so that
it is visible what email you are replying to, by the simple fact that
the text of that email is contained in the email of yours, like Jorge
did, and like I did. See, your email is within this email of mine.

I don't know how much time I can set aside, as I really have other
issues, and real-world problems, but I might try to help you a little...

But pls. do your best, as this is a developers' mailing list. Else we
may be of distraction to the developers... And also, be patient. The
other real-world issues may cause some delay in my replying to you.

I am only a wishful tester for their work, maybe I am not yet at the
necessary level myself...

***Oh, no, now I see this!***

And I know, I remember so well, how I had to rub my nose into my monitor
to see the fonts! No, this is (probably) not a UI issue, Jorge, if you
are reading, it's not! This is a fonts not scalable issue (probably!...

I'm assuming you are using some kind of Linux. Are you?
Let's first see, if you can find the file in your home directory, do
this, as user, not as root:

cd /home/<replacer-this-with-your-username>/.dillo

And with the next command, you ought to see something like:

ls -l
total 36
-rw------- 1 miro miro 67 2015-07-04 15:29 cookiesrc
-rw------- 1 miro miro 173 2015-08-28 18:36 cookies.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 miro miro 13984 2015-08-28 19:52 dillorc

-rw-r--r-- 1 miro miro 2935 2015-02-15 07:00 keysrc

Let me read your reply and explanation of what you see, and esp. if you
can, maybe, now, understand, what I explained in the:

http://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr/foss/cap/cap-150824-Schm-capt/Screen_150824-Gen-Dillo.webm

that is, to edit, with a normal editor in Linux, such as Vim, Emacs,
Nano, or such, the line that reads (something like):

[[ I use Vim, but you can use any editor you like ]]

#font_factor=1.0

,,,You can change that line to read, maybe:

font_factor=1.5

for starters...

(my salute is in bottom)

Taken notice of.

Looking it up at:
http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-August/thread.html

@Plmalternate
Pls., do not get me wrong. It took me a while to figure out that your
initial email was:

[Dillo-dev] Dillo-dev Digest, Vol 19, Issue 11 - UI font size  

http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-August/010633.html

and that the next one was:

[Dillo-dev] Dillo-dev Digest,v19#12 UI font size

http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-August/010636.html
but in a different thread (that's the reason for not only my confusion
--you don't read every email in every thread if you're short of time)

And only then there is this thread to which I am forwarding this
message. I see and I hope you might even, maybe, compile, the UI fonts,
so you are not a newbie like I thought you were.

My mistake was not out of lack of respect.

(salutations in bottom)
