| sebras | tor8: yey! I managed to decode motion j2k too. and yuv-based j2k! but this is enough of OT for today. :) | 02:16.50 |
| space_monkey | hello | 11:05.28 |
| | anyone in here ? | 11:05.51 |
| paulgardiner | A lot of the main developers are may be away from IRC this week. If it's a MuPDF question then there's some small chance I can help. | 11:32.54 |
| space_monkey | thanks paul, sorry for the delay, i had gone out to eat | 12:54.55 |
| | i'm just being a total noob here, but i've read in several tuto that I need to insert the path of Ghostscript to PATH | 12:55.34 |
| | and i don't know what PATH is --' | 12:55.47 |
| paulgardiner | On Windows? | 12:55.58 |
| space_monkey | yep | 12:56.01 |
| | xp | 12:56.03 |
| | (we're old school where i work) | 12:56.09 |
| | the goal is to get Inkscape to open my .eps | 12:57.10 |
| paulgardiner | Ah. So you'd like to double click them and have them open? | 12:57.51 |
| | Or are you using the command line? | 12:58.17 |
| space_monkey | well right now i have an error when i try to open them though any method | 12:58.57 |
| | in the "open" menu in inkscape | 12:59.05 |
| | or directly with "open with" with a right click | 12:59.19 |
| | and i've search the web, and come across the instruction to check wether GS has been added to PATH | 12:59.53 |
| paulgardiner | Ah sorry, Inkscape. So Inkscape needs to find ghostscript. I have Windows 7 here, but I think it's the same in this respect: Start by going to the control panel | 13:00.08 |
| space_monkey | so i guess it as to do with environment variable (i remember doing that for Gimp | 13:00.19 |
| | ok | 13:00.35 |
| paulgardiner | That's right. It's an evironment variable. | 13:00.46 |
| space_monkey | whe i get in thos | 13:01.38 |
| | i've got | 13:01.39 |
| | "Classpath" | 13:01.42 |
| | "PATHTEXT" | 13:01.50 |
| | or "Path" | 13:01.55 |
| paulgardiner | On Windows 7, I just clicked "System and Security" then "System", then"System Properties" | 13:01.55 |
| space_monkey | yep, nearly same here | 13:02.09 |
| | but once i'm in it i get lost | 13:02.14 |
| paulgardiner | So have you two lists "System variable" and "User variables for <your name>" ? | 13:02.55 |
| space_monkey | yep | 13:03.04 |
| paulgardiner | It's in "System variables" | 13:03.21 |
| | Path is the one | 13:03.28 |
| space_monkey | it's got a value alreay | 13:03.50 |
| | should i just add after it ? | 13:04.03 |
| paulgardiner | It has the form <path1>;<path2>;<path3> | 13:04.17 |
| | Be careful not to break any of the existing ones. | 13:04.30 |
| | Add a ; and then the ghostscript path | 13:04.49 |
| space_monkey | just to be sure, path to the .exe ? | 13:05.06 |
| paulgardiner | Path to the folder that contains the exe I think. | 13:05.23 |
| space_monkey | ok | 13:05.54 |
| | should i restart the computer ? or just inkscape ? | 13:06.52 |
| paulgardiner | I'm surprised the ghostscript installer didn't offer to do this for you. | 13:07.02 |
| | Just restart inkscape I'd imagine. | 13:07.15 |
| space_monkey | arf, it still doesn't work, but i think maybe it's an inskape problem | 13:08.12 |
| | thank you very much for the help in any case ! | 13:09.30 |
| paulgardiner | Hmmm. You could try bringing up a windows console and type ghostscript to check that the path has been added correctly | 13:09.44 |
| | Or gs is it? | 13:09.55 |
| space_monkey | gs | 13:10.06 |
| | i mean the path says gs.exe | 13:10.17 |
| paulgardiner | Sorry, not sure what you mean | 13:11.39 |
| space_monkey | sorry, engluish is not my mother tongue so i'm translating on the go | 13:12.24 |
| | i guess some things get lost :) | 13:12.30 |
| paulgardiner | If the path has been set up correctly then you should be able to open a console window, type gs.exe and see ghostscript report it is running. | 13:13.02 |
| | Your English seems excellent, by the way. | 13:13.44 |
| | What is the path to gs.exe on your system? | 13:14.08 |
| space_monkey | thank you :) it does open 'Ghostscript Image" | 13:14.22 |
| | C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.05\bin\gswin32.exe | 13:14.56 |
| | that's the path i think | 13:15.04 |
| paulgardiner | And you added ;C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.05\bin to the end of the Path variable? | 13:15.55 |
| | ... Note the ; before the C | 13:16.12 |
| space_monkey | yep, i'm gonna go recheck but i think i did just that | 13:16.30 |
| paulgardiner | The fact that gs ran from a console window suggests you got it right. | 13:17.01 |
| | Perhaps restarting your computer would help Inkscape sort itself out. | 13:17.21 |
| space_monkey | yeah, think i'm gonna try that | 13:17.38 |
| | there's also some think in Inkscape forum about a "ps2pdf" thing, i'm gonna go investigate as well | 13:18.14 |
| | anyway now I know that the "Path" is no longer the problem, i can try and look somewhere else | 13:18.59 |
| | thank you very much for your time and help ! | 13:19.09 |
| | i'm gonna quit and restart the computer | 13:19.33 |
| | have a nice day :) | 13:19.42 |
| Vorbote | Hi guys, where do I report font-related bugs? | 14:12.52 |
| paulgardiner | Same place as other bugs, AFAIK: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/ | 14:38.50 |
| alexcher0x2 | Vorbote: All bugs go to http://bugs.ghostscript.com | 14:39.49 |
| Vorbote | OK. Yet, I'd rather not open another bugzilla account. :-( | 14:40.11 |
| | Hmm... There are at least two relevant old bugs relevant to my qualms. 688557 and 691909. | 14:43.30 |
| | And 687297 is a refresher. I've always been of the opinion that the guy who added the cyrillic glyphs did a hatchet job. A true axe murderer, imo. | 14:45.14 |
| alexcher0x2 | Vorbote: Please write a comment if you have anything to contribute to the discussion. | 14:48.23 |
| Vorbote | alexcher0x2: I'll probably will. I used to do lots of font hacking in the 90s. | 14:51.22 |
| | Some of my work is still in CTAN. | 14:51.34 |
| | So, thanks for the pointers. | 14:55.59 |
| norbertj | henrys: are you here? | 15:29.48 |
| henrys | yes I am | 15:30.02 |
| norbertj | I printed C706.xl with git-latest-pcl and page 4 does not seem ok to me. OldEnglish and Broadway fonts. You agree? | 15:30.48 |
| henrys | I thought that was a documented anomaly let me check | 15:31.24 |
| norbertj | If I attach a debugger and change the pcs->font_id (key to a unique value) for the 3 downloadfonts on page 4 I get a much better output. | 15:31.59 |
| | just before the pcl_delete_soft_font() in pcl_font_header(). | 15:32.43 |
| | henrys: by document anomaly you mean that ghostpdl prints incorrect, but hp does? | 15:34.00 |
| | or hp also prints incorrect? | 15:34.26 |
| henrys | the former, have you looked at the .xls file and .txt files in the pcl and pxl subdirectories? | 15:35.38 |
| norbertj | henrys: no yet | 15:36.53 |
| | on your pfltable.h, the plft_Unicode fixes the lineprinter selection? | 15:37.29 |
| | I'll try that also. | 15:37.38 |
| henrys | yes, that definitely should go in. | 15:37.48 |
| | regardless of what else we do. | 15:37.57 |
| | Your C706 description reminded me of T203 in pxl .xls file if that's not it let me know and I'll have a look. | 15:38.55 |
| norbertj | I can't find an pxl/*.xls | 15:39.40 |
| | found it. | 15:39.57 |
| henrys | I'm thinking of the 2nd entry | 15:40.31 |
| norbertj | I think C706 could be the same. It downloads 3 softfonts, Each one replacing the previous one in the pcs->soft_fonts dict. | 15:42.19 |
| | downloading the fonts is done in passthrough mode without a fontid assigned (so default fontid =0). | 15:43.34 |
| | henrys: b.t.w. who supports pxldis.py? It only parses the first Session in C706.py (each page is in it's own session), so I had first split it into seperate files. | 15:45.10 |
| henrys | the counterexample in my bug is a bit harder to fix. Clearly HP is picking the font with a worse symbol set. | 15:46.27 |
| | norbertj:^^^ | 15:46.41 |
| | norbertj:harder than the line printer issue | 15:47.10 |
| norbertj | henrys: I see that C706.xl is not mentioned in pxl/pxcet.txt (i.e. that Broadway and OldEnglish are not printed correctly). | 15:48.19 |
| | I only have a lj4100n, which is pxl-2.0 (so not supporting passthrough) :( | 15:49.20 |
| | So I can't check how HP prints C706.xl, have to go to the paper-archive for the Original CET output | 15:50.05 |
| | Will do that tomorrow. | 15:50.11 |
| henrys | norbertj:As I recall C706.xl was just duplicating the XL and PCL tests so I didn't document it, but I will upon request | 15:50.35 |
| norbertj | henrys: going home now. Perhaps talk to you later from there. | 15:51.35 |
| henrys | norbertj:okay thanks | 15:51.49 |
| kens | paulgardiner : the WIndows executable is called gswin32.exe or gswin32c.exe (for the console version) | 17:01.51 |
| paulgardiner | kens: Thanks. I did feel that was something I should know, but had to reply before I had time to find out. :-) | 17:04.18 |
| kens | Well thanks for fielding the questions :-) | 17:04.32 |
| paulgardiner | np | 17:04.41 |
| kens | Huh, stack overflow just went offline for maintenance.... | 17:05.22 |
| phiscribe | does anyone know a way to convert .csh files (photoshop custom shape) into some type of vector file like an eps? | 21:17.57 |
| ray_work_ | phiscribe: are the .csh files a variant of PDF ? (what are the first 6 or so characters in the file) | 21:49.40 |
| phiscribe | ray_work_, not sure ill look at it | 22:17.22 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2012/12/11)>>> | |
