  1. With UltraAV you get uncertified antivirus protection, an average VPN, and a basic password manager, at a higher price than better-known competitors.
    [Yes, this is the antivirus portion of what US Kaspersky customers got switched to.]

  3. Shock for US Kaspersky users! Many discovered that UltraAV was installed remotely on their PCs, replacing Kaspersky after a deal with UltraAV's owner, Pango. What does this mean for your security? Stay informed! #Kaspersky #CyberSecurity #UltraAV #Pango

  4. I'm slowly making my way through a 8 thousand line python addition to #inkscape's #python library for parsing text and font elements in #svg properly. It's important and useful, but it's also *a lot*.

    I'm not sure how to say "please run pylint over your code because my eyes hurt trying to read this". without sounding like an ungrateful jerk. 😅

  6. Finally remembered to boot an old snapshot (hurrah for #BTRFS and #openSUSE!) and… yeah, the font rendering DEFINITELY went wrong somewhere during the update on Friday evening!

  8. Firefox and Thunderbird still look okay. So it must be a Gnome/GTK/Pango change that's causing this weird rendering.

    And, oddly, window titles don't appear to have been impacted. Which seems odd. I don't know if that localises it? But I thought GTK4 apps were starting to render their own title bar 😕

    [Edit] I wonder whether the compose key/ibus input problem is because something changed and my patch still applies cleanly but the results are broken 🤔

  10. Any #GTK / #Pango expert in the <s>room</s> Fediverse? #Fractal needs help to make its `inline code blocks` look right.

  12. Does anyone have a conversion of the 6x13 Misc Fixed font?

    Any other fonts drive me insane, and because of the ridiculously awful update a while ago which removed support for , I can't use it.

    Why do I care now? Because I've been drinking less so instead of being drunk all the time and not really caring, I'm actually focusing. And I despise every font I've tried. I'm done programming and typing anything meaningful on Linux until I can use the font in some way.

  13. I just reported a a bug in / that causes my program to insert redundant hyphens when turning source code into pdf. I'm ignoring this bug right now and will still create a new version in the next few days. See: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-

  14. Been comparing APIs for reworking the text support in #GIMP - currently uses #Pango; some font names come out wrong, no "use this font file" support. But can maybe work around both things (thanks, Behdad's blog) and add COLR support too, by rewriting fonts on the fly.

  16. GTK folks: do you know of a way (or "the right way") to know if my app/a widget is actually *using* the font specified? For example, if my CSS says to use font "Foo," but that font isn't installed?

    I poked a little bit at PangoFontDescription but it looks like it will return the requested font description for the context and not actually what's being used.

  18. @mtsofonea et @flodebarre interviewés par Louis Valleau du Figaro sur la logique de nomenclature des variants (pourquoi les lettres grecques se sont arrêtées et que signifie XBB.1.5 et le système #pango).

  19. #GNOME tenia un problema històric amb la ela geminada en la biblioteca #Pango, afectant a totes les aplicacions, des-de el 2002!
    Gràcies a la tenacitat de Jordi Mas de #softcatalà, el mantenidor de Pango Matthias Clasen li ha acceptat avui un canvi que ho soluciona.

    Jordi Mas ho explica en aquest fil:

  20. Apparently I have managed to render text using #pango and #cairo in #wayland. That's another giant milestone for #hikari #wayland. I can start working on indicator bars now!
