It might be worth trying to uninstall and re-install....

Yup, just tested that theory out. Un-installed the BOLD font, re-boted, re-installed and re-booted again (just to be on the safe side). Re-enabled my userChrome.css and....back to the "ugly" BOLD font...so for now I'm simply going back to 0.91 release given that BETA7 of FF38 is out and it's probably time to start getting ready for full-time use.

In the end it looks like the 1.01 release BOLD, for whatever reson, is not being recognized as the BOLD font. I did check the registry, all places where wpsu.ttf was showing the new wpsub.ttf showed up as well.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll continue monitor this thread in case any new ideas pop-up...

My comments are regarding FF 17.x, but for what it's worth:

1) I re-boot my machine as little as possible...usually every 10 days or so, mostly because the low shared memory problem starts to impact WPS

2) usually i have anywhere between 7-10 FF windows open, most with about 5 tabs each, these stay up and running at all times, "about:memory" usually shows about 1Gig used

3) when FF dies it does so with a gracefull exit...so no hangs, etc, etc...occasionally I may encounter a problem and can NOT kill FF...that usually requires a re-boot

1203
The problem is evidently in the rendering of Workplace Sans Bold...I can only guess that it's doing this because mzfntcfgft is unable to find or load the actual Workplace Sans Bold font.

I agree, that is certainly what it looks like. What is strange is that the BOLD version of the font is certainly present in the \psfonts directory, here are all of the WPS*.ttf files that I have:

The WPS font browser folder certainly shows the BOLD version and selecting it opens up a sample window.

What else could I check? I suppose I could also un-install that particular font and re-install?

Hi Alex,

Comparative screen shots would help to understand what exactly you are seeing and (possibly) why.

You say you downloaded both the bitmapped and non bitmapped versions.  Which did you install? They can't both be installed (well, not successfully anyway).

Your reaction certainly suggests you have the non bitmapped versions installed.  Did you have the bitmapped versions installed before?

Correct, I never try to fix the two font releases, it is either the pure TTF or the pure bitmapped enhanced version. Right now I'm running TTF only.

OK, so here are the screenshots as attachments, wish I could in-line them but that seems to be only possible with a URL link, maybe I'm missing something though? lol

So, going by the filenames:

1) FF17_workplace_ttf_091.jpg - my current working font setup
2) FF17_workplace_ttf_101.jpg - the "bad" setup with the new 1.01 font release
3) FF17_workplace_ttf_101_userchrome_gone_fntcfgOLD.jpg - userChrome.css file gone, and using the old fntcfg
4) FF17_workplace_ttf_101_userchrome_gone_fntcfgNEW.jpg - userChrome.css file gone, and using the new fntcfg

So a couple of immediate findings:

1) dropping userChrome.css appears to have a significant impact, the font choices default to what FF is setup to use on our platform
2) there do not appear to be any differences between OLD and NEW fntcfg releases





1205
Hi Dave!

What happens if you remove your userChrome.css? And what version of mzfntcfgft are you using? I did release a couple of test builds of freetype that might have affects such as this.
Here FF17.0.11 with Alex's latest Workplace Sans looks fine.

WarpIn shows version 2.5.4.0 of MZFNTCFGFT_RUNTIME installed...it is dated 31/12/2014. I have a newer ZIP file (mzfntcfgft_runtime_20150829.zip) drop, the included readme states:

=== START ===
This is a build of freetyp2.dll, freetyp6.dll and fntcfg2.dll which are required by various builds of Mozilla and other progams. Updated to freetype 2.60. Dependencies on Z and png dropped.
=== STOP ===

Checking Bitbucket it looks like this is the latest release. Should I be running that instead? I never installed it because I was trying to keep my WarpIn stuff in sync and so did not want the ZIP file contents overlaying the latest WarpIn release.

Regarding userChrome.css delete...I will try that next.

1206
This is not specifically a Firefox issue (as best as I can tell) but since it impacts Firefox (17.0.11) only on my machine I'm posting in this group.

Alright...so I've been using Alex's WorkPlace Sans font family for a looooong time...last version was the 0.91 drop...recently I noticed that 1.01 was out...went out, grabbed the bitmap and non-bitmapped versions...installed them on my system (one at a time of course), re-booted, only to scream in horror (well, not quite, but you get the point...LOL) when I saw the nearly illegible Firefox menus once Firefox was restarted.

Through some experimentation I discoverd that changing the custom setting of gfx.os2.font.hinting=3 to something like 2 or 1 makes it look better, but certainly nowhere near what my current 0.91 version looks like with it being set to 3.

So am I missing something on my machine to make this latest font drop work correctly? Or perhaps, do I have some setting somewhere that should be re-set/turned-off?

I certainly have this font specified in my userChrome.css file, here is a section that controls the font and sizing used for the menus and menubar:

=== START ===

/* this controls the MENUBAR entries */
menubar {
  font-family: workplace sans !important;
  font-size: 16px !important;
}

/* this controls the actual listing of MENU headers */
menu {
  font-family: workplace sans !important;
  font-weight: bold !important;
  font-size: 16px !important;
}

....

Thanks everyone!

Hi Dave!

Have you tried removing Flash and then using Firefox or better yet the latest SeaMonkey which will handle H264+AAC streaming?
Have you tested VLC or MPlayer? They may not have OpenSSL/TLS linked in to handle the encryptiuon.

I do not actually have FLASH installed on my machine. Usually YouTube plays fine using webm, but in the case of these videos it seems it could only do flash.

Yes, tried with VLC and MPlayer, neither one could handle the URL, which was the YouTube hosted video.

Here is an example of what I got back from mplayer (which otherwise is my default player for just about all the media out there):

Multimedia / SMTube update?
« on: May 21, 2016, 05:06:17 pm »
Hi Everyone!

I was attempting to stream the Warpstock videos (since they wan't play in Firefox due to lack fo Flash) but the current OS/2 version of SMTube is at 14.x level, while the latest release is 16.3.x, so I'm curious: any chance we could get an updated release?

I'm asking b/c 14.x release now complains upon startup with "Error: could not connect to Youtube server"...I assume some things have changed???

Thanks!

Setup & Installation / Re: Problems with JFS
« on: May 08, 2016, 02:24:31 am »
Pete,
Do you still have an active HPFS partition present while you boot off of the JFS?

I ask this because I previously experimented with JFS (older version though)...and since I ran HPFS386 (with fairly sizeable cache - 512MB) across all of my OS/2 drives I ran into some serious problems, JFS was completely unusable. This actually caused my bootable HPFS386 partition to get trashed...since then I have left JFS alone and have not got any further.

So....if you have an active HPFS partition, maybe you are seeing some kind of "in-stability" between the two filesystems along the lines I have exeprienced.

Internet / Re: Weird Firefox 17.0.11 TCP/IP traffic spike...
« on: May 08, 2016, 02:08:19 am »
So here is the thing I was able to find, I ran iptrace on my lan0 interface to capture the Firefox traffic.

As it turned out that massive amount of data is due to traffic between my OS/2 box and my NAS unit, that being ZyXel NSA325 V2. What exactly is being moved is hard to tell, but ipformat shows that the traffic is limitted to just those two static ip addresses.

I ran iptrace as follows: "ipformat -f iptrace.dmp > iptrace.out2". Perhaps I could have tried some other options to better judge what type of data is actually being exchanged.

....but, where this led me to is to eventually spot a filename that was stored on the NAS...some more poking around identified the root cause (as best as I can tell at the moment anyways). I must have downloaded this file using Firefox and pointed to my NAS box as the "SAVE AS" location. I was able to find this very filename in the Downloads list...removing it from there no longer causes Firefox to interrogate my NAS box for directory contents, or so it appears.

Strange, at least it seems strange that the app would do this, it implies that all previous downloads still present in the History would be looked at as well. Local filesystem is different then network stuff, thus the spike in my tcp/ip traffic. This behaviour could certainly be the result of Netdrive version I use, which is 3.1.4 with File System Drive being 3.027.

Internet / Weird Firefox 17.0.11 TCP/IP traffic spike...
« on: May 02, 2016, 03:41:47 am »
Hi Everyone!

Within the last couple of weeks I started noticing a weird tcp/ip traffic spike while using my Firefox 17.0.11 release and openning a new window. Each time I do this I get about 4-5 secs of massive data xfer (which I monitor through my 'PU Monitor' utility)...in total there seems to be some kind of localhost loop where about 80-100 MB of data appear to be downloaded with matching 1MB uploaded...the thing is I am absolutely 100% certain there is no real "beyond the router" communication, it only appears to be hapenning internally on my machine.

So I'm curious if anyone has seen this behaviour with Firefox, maybe some add-on? The last add-on I installed is ChatZilla, but that was at least over a month ago...

Thanks!

Well..mostly good news to report...I was able to un-install the Warp4 toolkit using the Install/UnInstall "Feature Install" options...pretty clean end-result.

I then installed the Warp 4.52 toolkit using the TKINSTAL method...however, I noticed that during the install it tossed a bunch of it's SOM into my LIBPATH, PATH statements as well as having re-defined:

SET SOMBASE=G:\OS2
SET SOMRUNTIME=G:\OS2\DLL

to

SET SOMBASE=G:\code\tools\toolkit\som
SET SOMRUNTIME=G:\code\tools\toolkit\som\common

My LIBPATH had the following entries added to the very front:
G:\code\tools\toolkit\samples\mm\dll;G:\code\tools\toolkit\som\common\dll;G:\code\tools\toolkit\som\lib;

...which unfortunately must have made my total LIBPATH length too big as it caused a boot error (SYS02068 - unable to locate DOSCALL1).

Anyways, my biggest worry here is re: SOMBASE and SOMRUNTIME statements, the toolkit .IR files are different than that I find in OS2.

Can I safely ignore the SOM part of Toolkit driven changes to the CONFIG.SYS?
