I got the new Dillo version 3.0.5 (in the master air-gapped box, which I
yet have to clone onto this, for online, same hardware box), as it is
available in gentoo:

https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-client/dillo/

but my problem with fonts (the FAQ issue
http://www.dillo.org/FAQ.html#q27), to which eocene has kindly given the
tip for in his message:

http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-April/010500.html

For people reading this message offline, I'll paste his advice, since it is
also important:

If you go to dw/fltkplatform.cc and, in FltkFont::initSystemFonts(),
remove the leading underscore in
_MSG("Found font: %s%s%s\n", name, t & FL_BOLD ? " bold" : "",
to get
MSG("Found font: %s%s%s\n", name, t & FL_BOLD ? " bold" : "",
and recompile, what does dillo say when you run it?

And I was saying that that problem I still have in my 3.0.5.

I hoped it would have been solved, but since it hasn't been, for me who
am not really a developer, to go and recompile means first get (finally,
it's been waiting for me since long) a little really deeper and dirty
with the Gentoo ebuild system, and, basically compile my own ebuild...
or...

Or get Gentoo developers to do it for all of the Dillo Gentoo users.

Since my eyes are sore from too small and non configurable fonts, I'm
afraid I will have to do one of the above...

For the latter, since this issue has been discussed, and previous to
eocene's message you can see that I extensively described it, what do
kind Dillo devs think: the second route to take, which is: file a bug on
Gentoo bugzilla with basically updated real output from the new Dillo
3.0.5, might probably be shorter route to get this issue fixed? That is
what I should try first, isn't it.

Oh, well, I hope I haven't been too lengthy.,,

Another issue I also have. Can't log into:

https://github.com/miroR

And was able to log into it with lynx, and open my new repo
https://github.com/miroR/flowstamp

So it doesn't seem to be github follows the big JS-and-all browsers
else-get-lost policy like soo many...

Depending on the soonness of the fonts solution, I'd be willing to
provide more information, such as the full screencast/traffic-dump of my
future attempt to log into Github, so we get this done... Depending on
that being solved (I'm not expert by any means, and who knows if I get
any help from Gentoo devs, who are overworked).

Really depending on the fonts issue being solve first, as my eyes hurt
(born with somewhat poor eyesight, but getting worse, am 58 ys of age).

Cheers, and keep up the good work. I hope you all keep in harmony, as
soo much if missing for Dillo to become a complete browser... I'll be
pretty sad if any bad rifts were to appear among the team... Pls. find
the right way between yourselves, and do only what is right and honest
for all of you!

Much is missing in the Dillo, but, you seem to be the strongest around
that keep free! Free from surveillors! I was really right when in what I
posted on:

Secure: yes, Though Features Missing; and Bugs
http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-April/010495.html

(too much to paste for offline readers, but in short, I compared the
Firefox harvesting on users with the sea-calm when online of kind and
secure Dillo)

But we were wrong! And it was only something an unimaginative person
like me can be capable of not figuring out despite urgent need and
sincere desire because of that urgent need (my eyes have been hurting
from the fixed not-much-more-than ASCII font that was all I've seen in,
what?, a few months?

We were wrong! It only needed that the fltk be recompiled with, guess
what?, with the the XFT font renederer!

That was the sole missing thing.

So, on my Gentoo, it's probably sufficient to simply,

# cat >> /etc/portage/package.use
x11-libs/fltk xft
#

[[ -->

But I preferred:
# cat >> /etc/portage/package.use
x11-libs/fltk opengl doc examples xft
www-client/dillo gif ipv6 jpeg png ssl doc

--> ]]

and:

# emerge -tuvDN dillo

which then first renstalls fltk, and then reinstalls dillo, and I get
the fonts which I set in the ~/.dillo/dillorc, and, esp. they are
scalable to my heart's content!

I'll be going the ebuild way just the same, because I want to be able to
get to know this really lean and mean browser. Too many things still
missing... I can't wait to see CSS3 implemented, and those floats
and all! (No, not impatient in a nervous way, it's a delightful
expectation for me.)

I think I am going to file a very angry (no, not really, our devs are
overwrought and as unimaginative, many of them, as I am)...

But I think I am going to file a bug on Gentoo Bugzilla about this!
(But if anybody can tell a reason that justifies the xft use flag not
being the default, pls. do tell me... in which case my filing the bug
would not make sense; I don't see such reason though.)

Very kind regards!

I'm glad you finally nailed the issue, and have proper fonts.

I neither see a reason for this...

Thanx, boss!

I think I found what was missing in the Gentoo ebuild, and I may have
reported correctly on the Bugzilla:

Dillo ebuild is missing xft flag for fltk, causes eye-sore
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554588

I tried to give credit where it was due, and you can find Walter Dnes
name in the bug report above ;-) .

Because this triggered my understanding,[...]

[...]and the snippet of the dawning conversation can be found on:

http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-July/010594.html

Cheers!

On another note, still wrecking my nerves: it's a real torture accessing
and posting bugs.gentoo.org with my current setup or with the something
missing in dillo. It sure will take me time to really figure and deploy
on my Gentoo the ebuilds in my local overlay with the current mercurial
code (slowly making progress there too), so only then I'll know if the
issue has been fixed in it...

Just, in case anyone could see any reasons for the thousands per minute
cookies.dpi lines as described in my Grsecurity Forums Dillo topic:

Deploy RBAC on Dillo browser

Oh it is! If it is really about fonts that I fixed in my thread, and in
my video! As, re-thinking about your reply, I again believe is the case.

Not going back and searching, but you were saying that you were rubbing
your nose on the monitor to see [what you opened in dillo], weren't you?

Nobody rubs their noses on the monitor to see just the "File" button,
and then to see whether to click on it's popdown menu, be it "New Tab",
the "New Window", "Open file", "Open URL", "Close or "Exit dillo", do
they?

But rather, you probably, as I did, and I did it for three months until
another user, Walter Dnes (he is also deserving for my posting, and he
also posted on the bug in Gentoo which is about it...

But rather, you probably, as I did, and Watler indicated was was the
problem with my Dillo, rub your nose on your monitor to see whatever the
content, and not the UI fonts, on the pages that you open in your Dillo,
in your Ubuntu Linux.

So in case you do have that problem, and it's not about programming the
User Interface fonts, in which case, everybody pls. forgive me for
replying *to the list*...

In that case, back to the list, pls.

I do like to help if it is of general interest. That would be worth my
time, because I believe in Free Software, and I like to help, but not
the M$-kind of way, off-line, for one sole person.

There is no dillo-users list, so this is the place to discuss it, but in
clear terms.

You can see (but I'm not searching for it in the respective threads, but
you could), that I had the same problem. You are not talking about UI
fonts, but fonts of the page opened to you by dillo, I'm almost sure
now.

I'll now take these two lines out of context:

Pls. keep to that, if you do reply (and reply to the list, please).

And I'll also change the title to just:

Fonts in dillo, was: UI font size

as I'm almost certain that is the matter.

But I'll break that rule of replying, file lines above here, to some
extent, becauise I will put in the

In-Reply-To: <20150712064445.GA17278@g0n>
which is the Message-ID of the message containing the important info to
get dillo compiled with unicode-supporting scalable fonts, which I'm
almost cetain is the issue here,

instead of the Message-ID of this message of yours that I'm actually
replying. I'm doing so, because it is good that this message appears,
right underneath:

Fonts not found issue persists in 3.0.5
http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-July/010599.html

(at least I hope it will; Namely that Message-ID is 20150712064445.GA17278@g0n)

What you, Plmalternate, probably need to do, see that fltk, which dillo
needs for fonts, is compiled the right way...
