| | <<<Back 1 day (to 2014/05/29) | 2014/05/30 |
| Aurelien_ | Hi all | 09:45.28 |
| | How are you guys? | 09:45.55 |
| | I want to use MuPdf and I have some problems when saving annotations to my file | 09:46.40 |
| | sometimes it works and sometimes it does not | 09:47.01 |
| | I cannot find bugs in the bugs list | 09:47.26 |
| | So can I find a way to correct this bug ? | 09:47.55 |
| | maybe here? | 09:47.59 |
| kens | Are you using the MuPDF viewer, or your own application ? | 09:48.36 |
| chrisl | Well, won't be flying United again....... | 09:49.03 |
| kens | why chrisl ? THey cna't have lost your bags yet...... | 09:49.17 |
| chrisl | Online "checkin" won't issue a boarding pass | 09:49.35 |
| kens | What, seriously ? That's cr*p | 09:49.51 |
| tor8 | chrisl: and you don't even have a connecting flight? that's a new low... | 09:50.07 |
| kens | What's the point of online check-in then ? | 09:50.16 |
| chrisl | "You can check your seat assignment etc....", but to complete your checkin and issue a boarding pass, have to go to the desk at the airport | 09:50.51 |
| kens | So, no point then. | 09:51.08 |
| chrisl | Unless it's just me, for some reason... | 09:51.09 |
| kens | I'm doing mine now, we'll see | 09:51.16 |
| | Plane looks pretty full :-( | 09:56.25 |
| pedro_pc | chrisl: is that united? They never let me do online checkin the last few times because they do manual security checks pre-checkin (atedinburgh/Glasgow anyway) | 09:56.34 |
| chrisl | pedro_pc: yeh. Most airlines, at least at Heathrow, let you checkin online | 09:57.29 |
| kens | Oh, just got a lovely warning 'one of your lfights today may be overbooked'.... | 09:58.23 |
| jogux_mac | I blame the US tbh. flights to there always seem worse than to anywhere else, at least from the UK. | 09:58.35 |
| kens | ANd it seems it won't let me have a boarding pass either | 09:59.01 |
| | jogux_mac : first time in years I haven't been able to print a boarding pass for Heathrow departure | 09:59.24 |
| | I wonder if its because when asked about checking bags I replied no/unsure (I am sure, but there isn't a 'definitely not' option) | 10:00.35 |
| kens | is unimpressed | 10:01.07 |
| chrisl | kens: the warning about the boarding pass came up on the first page for me, before I had entered any details. I wonder if it's because I don't have a United frequent flyer or whatever membership | 10:02.00 |
| kens | I don't either, but I didn't get the boarding pass thing till I got to the end | 10:02.24 |
| | Makes online check-in totally pointless | 10:02.55 |
| chrisl | Yep, *definitely* not happy with that :-( | 10:11.27 |
| Robin_Watts | I didn't get a boarding pass either. | 10:16.10 |
| | Possibly because I only just entered my passport information? | 10:16.22 |
| chrisl | I thought I had to give my passport details to book the tickets | 10:16.45 |
| kens | I htought so also | 10:16.54 |
| | and was irritated to have to enter it all again | 10:17.02 |
| Robin_Watts | but we can print boarding passes at the machines, without needing to queue for a desk. | 10:17.17 |
| chrisl | Which makes it doubly pointless and annoying that we can't print them now | 10:18.38 |
| Robin_Watts | well the machines read the passports. | 10:19.21 |
| | so that is at least consistent. | 10:19.33 |
| kens | You'll like htis, it sent me a boarding pass | 10:21.57 |
| | Ah no it hasn't | 10:22.07 |
| | Its snet me a PDF saying 'this is not a boarding pass'. THat's helpful; | 10:22.21 |
| chrisl | No, the mail says "boarding pass" the PDF says "oh no it isn't"...... | 10:22.51 |
| kens | and teh PDF says that they need to verify my passsport | 10:22.52 |
| | chrisl, yes that's what I meant, which is simply more confusing :-) | 10:23.06 |
| chrisl | It just means having to leave earlier tomorrow, which I could do without | 10:23.42 |
| kens | BTW does anyone know if we're landing at terminal 2 on the way home ? | 10:30.28 |
| chrisl | I didn't think T2 was open again, yet | 10:31.53 |
| kens | chrisl, just had an email from Ian to say he's in hospital until Monday/Teusday next week to have a plate on a collar bone.... | 10:32.10 |
| | chrisl, it opens Wednesday, guess which airline is the first to use it ? | 10:32.25 |
| chrisl | kens: fell off his bike? | 10:32.36 |
| kens | I'm assuming so, he was in Switzerland earlier | 10:32.49 |
| chrisl | I've got a few friends with similar things - collar bones often get it when you come off a bike :-( | 10:33.24 |
| kens | I wonder if medics have changed their practices, I didn't get mine plated. | 10:33.51 |
| chrisl | It depends on the break - I think it mainly depends on how stable it is | 10:35.04 |
| kens | Well, I broke the bone completely, so about as unstable as its possible to be I would guess | 10:35.27 |
| chrisl | I guess I've been lucky - when I come off my bike, I protect my arms by throwing my head forward........ | 10:36.59 |
| kens | Wasn't a bike for me, I just slipped on some wet grass | 10:37.20 |
| chrisl | I guess we are coming into T2 - not that it makes much difference to me. Need to remember we fly out of T1, though | 10:43.23 |
| kens | Makes a difference to my ride home :-) | 10:43.41 |
| chrisl | It's easy enough to check the arrivals page, that should confirm the terminal | 10:44.23 |
| kens | Yes, and I did warnt htme it might be T2 | 10:44.50 |
| Robin_Watts | oh, we're T1 on the way out? Shows how awake I've been. | 10:45.37 |
| kens | Yeah T1 on departure | 10:45.49 |
| chrisl | Christ, the day before we head off to a staff meeting, and that's the 4th bug that's probably going to end up on my plate - after it being quiet for ages! | 10:48.43 |
| kens | What the font stream one ? | 10:48.57 |
| | More likely mine | 10:49.01 |
| chrisl | Well, it's "fonts".... | 10:49.12 |
| kens | Yeah, but its also 'pdf interpreter' and 'pdfwrite'..... | 10:49.30 |
| | Either of those could be throwing an error | 10:49.42 |
| | Well, GS on its own says 'can't find CID font "HYb1gj"' | 10:50.33 |
| | I would guess that pdfwrite throws an error because it can't embed the font | 10:51.00 |
| chrisl | No, I get "can't process font stream, loading by the name" | 10:51.23 |
| kens | Yeah getting that too | 10:51.33 |
| chrisl | To the display device..... | 10:51.52 |
| kens | As I was going to say beforethe network hiccuped.... can't see any immediate problem with the fonts, but -dPDFSTOPONERROR doesn't terminate | 10:53.29 |
| | Grr, uses compressed streams | 10:55.37 |
| chrisl | No the "can't process font stream...." isn't considered a "fatal" error - go figure | 10:55.38 |
| | And I've just remembered why I don't like selling stuff on e-bay - silly questions galore :-( | 10:59.25 |
| pedro_pc | coul tke the Apple approach with an auto-responder which says "Thanks for your question. Your business is impotant to us. To best handle your query I'm redirecting you to our customer fulfillment advisor, /dev/null" | 11:01.12 |
| | bah, why do I persist with this wireless kb | 11:01.32 |
| pedro_pc | apologises and adds more letters | 11:01.59 |
| chrisl | Tempting, but you never know which idiot might bid up the item, so mantra <must be polite.....> | 11:02.24 |
| pedro_pc | :) | 11:02.47 |
| chrisl | But it is quite difficult with questions like "you don't list any international shipping, are you willing post to Hong Kong?".... | 11:05.16 |
| Robin_Watts | chrisl: To which the answer is, not without a premium on the postage. | 11:07.08 |
| chrisl | Robin_Watts: to which the answer is "if I were willing to post to Hong Kong, I'd have listed international shipping" | 11:11.45 |
| | Robin_Watts: I'd be surprised if anyone would go for it anyway: carriage on a 5kg amplifier worth ~300ukp runs to 110ukp insured to HK | 11:14.33 |
| tor8 | Robin_Watts: when do you get in tomorrow? | 12:27.23 |
| | kens: chrisl: ^ | 12:27.33 |
| kens | Hmm | 12:27.41 |
| chrisl | Erm, 1:30pm | 12:27.55 |
| kens | says here 13;30 local time | 12:27.56 |
| tor8 | we should probably decide where to meet up | 12:28.03 |
| kens | Well, thought we might find the car hire place, then come back and meet you in the arrivals area | 12:28.20 |
| tor8 | right, so one hour earlier than me. I'm coming in at 14.35 | 12:28.30 |
| | arrivals area sounds good, less chance of me getting lost :) | 12:28.44 |
| chrisl | tor8: does your phone work in the US? | 12:28.55 |
| kens | I thought me or someone would come back to arrivals while RObin does the paperwork | 12:29.00 |
| tor8 | chrisl: it should, but there have been times where it wasn't entirely reliable | 12:29.08 |
| kens | Mine works 'sometimes' | 12:29.35 |
| chrisl | tor8: One would hope the airport would be somewhere it would work reliably.... | 12:29.47 |
| tor8 | departures usually has fewer people waiting, though, so that might be a better waiting place | 12:30.07 |
| kens | Well you're easy to find Tor.... | 12:31.11 |
| tor8 | True enough. | 12:32.31 |
| Robin_Watts | departures may be a better bet. | 13:00.38 |
| | at arrivals they like you to park, cos they expect you to have to wait for ages. | 13:01.00 |
| | departures is much more 'drop and go'. | 13:01.15 |
| | Can cars drive to the shuttle bus pickup point? | 13:01.58 |
| | If so, we should meet tor there. | 13:02.05 |
| chrisl | Not sure, sometimes it's buses and taxis only | 13:02.28 |
| Robin_Watts | well, presumably we can get to *somewhere* along there? | 13:04.48 |
| kens | I htougth I'd walk back while you do the car, then bring tTor to the hire place | 13:05.11 |
| chrisl | Yeh, I'd think so - and heck, if it goes wrong, we're just a bunch of dumb limeys.... | 13:05.31 |
| Robin_Watts | kens: I suspect that we'll have to ride a bus to get to the car hire place. | 13:07.55 |
| | I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that it's on "Car Rental Drive" which is near Kincaids, in Burlingame. | 13:08.33 |
| kens | well, bus, feet.... | 13:08.35 |
| Robin_Watts | so walking back will take a while. | 13:08.41 |
| tor8 | I'll wait around the arrivals area then | 13:11.55 |
| | Robin_Watts: the shuttle bus pickup point is on the arrivals level | 13:13.07 |
| | I mean departures level... | 13:13.16 |
| Robin_Watts | tor8: yeah, I'm trying to decide between arrivals and departures. | 13:13.32 |
| tor8 | more places to sit and wait near the departures, but I reckon arrivals will be easier for picking someone up | 13:14.04 |
| | but not by much, you see a lot of people dropping people off at departures as well | 13:14.23 |
| Robin_Watts | Most places they let you drive along the departures level, but they often only let taxis/buses along the arrivals. | 13:14.23 |
| | dropping people off at departures would be normal :) | 13:14.51 |
| tor8 | I could wait near the bart terminal, then it's just a quick jog up or down the stairs | 13:15.06 |
| Robin_Watts | tor8: wait at the usual shuttle bus pickup point. | 13:15.49 |
| | but watch both lanes :) | 13:15.55 |
| | so on the departures level. | 13:16.09 |
| tor8 | shuttle bus pickup, check. | 13:16.11 |
| Robin_Watts | at least we all know where that is :) | 13:16.22 |
| tor8 | I might be hiding in the shade if the sun is beating down relentlessly | 13:16.26 |
| kens | forecast says 15C | 13:17.06 |
| tor8 | and speaking of the sun, what does the weather forecast look like? | 13:17.08 |
| | that's colder than here! | 13:17.17 |
| kens | :-( | 13:17.22 |
| Robin_Watts | guerneville is forecast to be 25 on sunday. | 13:22.56 |
| | but chilly in the evenings. | 13:23.11 |
| pedro_pc | Robin: what rental co are you usin? the monorail takes you to most - hertz/avis/alamo/budget etc | 13:56.36 |
| henrys | Robin_Watts: have you seen paul today we have a meeting in an hour and I'm not sure he knows about it. | 13:58.41 |
| | ? | 13:58.51 |
| Robin_Watts | yes, he's about. | 13:59.18 |
| paulgardiner_lap | hi | 14:00.09 |
| ghostbot | Welcome to #ghostscript, the channel for Ghostscript and MuPDF. If you have a question, please ask it, don't ask to ask it. Do be prepared to wait for a reply as devs will check the logs and reply when they come on line. | 14:00.09 |
| Robin_Watts | pedro_pc: It's avis. | 14:00.17 |
| henrys | paulgardiner_lap: I noticed when I RSVP's you hadn't responded yet so I was worried you didn't get the email | 14:00.46 |
| pedro_pc | went with avis last year and they'e in the rental pickup garage about 3 stops from the main terminal iirc | 14:01.04 |
| Robin_Watts | pedro_pc: Getting the car isn't the problem. Meeting up with tor who is coming in on a different flight is the complicated bit :) | 14:01.04 |
| pedro_pc | ah, ok :) | 14:01.12 |
| Robin_Watts | I probably wouldn't go with Avis if I had a choice after what happened in Dallas. | 14:01.41 |
| pedro_pc | just wondering if it'd be easier for him to get to the rental garage that way than you trying to get back to the right bit of the terminal... | 14:02.05 |
| Robin_Watts | Booked online, prepaid for rental. | 14:02.05 |
| paulgardiner_lap | henrys: I'm not sure I have the email you've RSVP to. I'll check my gmail spam | 14:02.29 |
| Robin_Watts | when I went to pick the car up and I was signing my life away she said "and this is for your upgrade"... | 14:03.04 |
| | and I said "upgrade?" | 14:03.09 |
| pedro_pc | checks and realises I actually went with Hertz for that leg... (same building though) | 14:03.26 |
| Robin_Watts | and she said "Yes, I've put you in a slightly larger car so you'll be more comfortable". | 14:03.34 |
| | and foolishly I agreed. | 14:03.39 |
| pedro_pc | grins | 14:03.41 |
| Robin_Watts | and found that she'd taken my rental to about 4 times the price. | 14:03.58 |
| | I am arguing with Avis customer disservice over it now. | 14:04.11 |
| kens | I didn't know about that :-( | 14:04.27 |
| pedro_pc | ouch - I did an $80 upgrade to a ford Edge and that was pretty decent | 14:04.28 |
| Robin_Watts | kens: I am somewhat embarassed about it. | 14:04.48 |
| pedro_pc | I had gone for something whichhad a 4-cylinder engine (didn't say on the website) | 14:05.11 |
| Robin_Watts | It was supposed to be $150 or so (which I expected to turn into $250 after insurances etc) | 14:05.16 |
| pedro_pc | doesn't do 4-cylinder stuff in the US ;) | 14:05.22 |
| Robin_Watts | it ended up being $800+. | 14:05.36 |
| pedro_pc | ouch | 14:05.40 |
| | what did you get? and Escalade? | 14:05.49 |
| Robin_Watts | some 7 seater thing. | 14:05.59 |
| paulgardiner_lap | henrys: I'm probably being daft: what should I be looking for? All I seem to have from Good today is a document about the services framework | 14:06.08 |
| pedro_pc | paulgardiner_lap> webex invite | 14:06.43 |
| henrys | forwarding | 14:06.59 |
| paulgardiner_lap | Ta. I can't seem to find it. What date/time? | 14:07.59 |
| henrys | paulgardiner_lap: 52 minutes | 14:08.20 |
| rayjj | Robin_Watts: try Enterprise -- they have vans, and probably for much less. IIRC, car rental places don't actually charge you in advance | 14:10.12 |
| | We've rented 7 seater vans at Enterprise at about $59/day (base rate, unlimited mileage) | 14:11.02 |
| Robin_Watts | rayjj: The rule is simply not to accept an upgrade without checking that they weren't charging a stupid amount for it. | 14:11.03 |
| pedro_pc | rayjj - its a uk stitch-up as usual - we get 'discount' rates for booking in advance (and paying) | 14:11.04 |
| | doesn't always work out to be cheaper | 14:11.12 |
| henrys | paulgardiner_lap: I think we are to use the webex stuff so you will need the email - it has a url and password | 14:11.13 |
| Robin_Watts | rayjj: They offered the upgrade without warning me it would cost a fortune, and I'm gonna blame the jetlag for not picking up on it. | 14:11.59 |
| paulgardiner_lap | Looks like I didn't get a copy because I'm not in the To list. | 14:12.08 |
| henrys | paulgardiner_lap: ah right you are I didn't look | 14:12.36 |
| paulgardiner_lap | I guess I'll gate crash. | 14:13.02 |
| henrys | paulgardiner_lap: I wonder if this is going to be of any use. We have to get the app running ... losing $ everyday it's not. | 14:16.52 |
| pedro_pc | henrys> if its just how to register apps and services in the partner portal then possibly not much new (its basically analogous to doing the same in a local GC server) but I think we'll benefit from some concrete clarification of the steps we need to take | 14:22.29 |
| paulgardiner_lap | henrys: do you mean on Android? I'm maybe confused about what happened with the app store. Latest I'd heard was that we deleted it, but were able to replace it. | 14:40.22 |
| rayjj | found my last typo to make 2524.pdf run correctly. Now to try a clusterpush | 14:40.51 |
| kens | fingers crossed.... | 14:41.04 |
| henrys | paulgardiner_lap: miles claims there are customers waiting on the new stuff hence the urgency. I don't know the details. | 14:42.17 |
| jogux_mac | SOG is definitely on the iOS appstore (whether good have actually sorted it out so that Miles can sign contracts/sell it I have no idea...). | 14:43.04 |
| pedro_pc | henrys> do you know if that is existing customers waiting for fixes to reported issues? | 14:43.50 |
| paulgardiner_lap | new stuff, as in font widths? Hopefully we are close now anyway. I added the other direction of the file-transfer service yesterday, which Richard claimed we needed. | 14:45.23 |
| | If we can get it clear exactly what we need to test | 14:45.48 |
| henrys | paulgardiner_lap: no my understanding was we need the new integration - nothing is needed on our end | 14:45.49 |
| | paulgardiner_lap: miles says he is collecting no money until this thing is running. | 14:46.37 |
| jogux_mac | thing == android, iOS or both? | 14:47.47 |
| pedro_pc | henrys: I know we're not aware thow the deals have been set up, but if there's an existing SOG on the appstore then how is a rebranded refresh going to make more money? | 14:48.23 |
| paulgardiner_lap | new integration? I worry I've been working on the wrong thing. Mostly I've been updating to their latest SDK... well at least since the struggle we had to get the thing to authorise. | 14:48.43 |
| | Possibly, testing is all that it left to do on iOS, although that in itself is no simple matter. | 14:49.35 |
| henrys | pedro_pc, paulgardiner_lap : not a clue, I assumed it was pulled down. My conversations with miles have been simply to get it running and I haven't looked at the business end at all. | 14:50.17 |
| Robin_Watts | henrys: AIUI, Miles removed it from the appstore. | 14:50.40 |
| | and then got emailed by Good, and so put it back up again. | 14:50.51 |
| | so the old version is currently on the appstore, and people can download/use it. | 14:51.07 |
| jogux_mac | robin: for iOS - yes. there's nothing at all for Android. | 14:51.30 |
| henrys | I'm a little confused why it would work - it sound like the old interface is no longer supported. | 14:53.01 |
| jogux_mac | robin: I'm unconvinced (although Henry/Paul/Pete almost certainly know more) that Good have given Miles a way to actually sell the existing iOS app. | 14:53.19 |
| henrys | miles claims to be losing 5-10K per week while it is not running.... | 14:53.50 |
| jogux_mac | :( | 14:53.57 |
| pedro_pc | henrys: the old APIs are still available bu tdeprecated (so they'll proably only work with specific versions of GfE/GoodShare | 14:54.23 |
| | Good have recommended that we upgraded the apps to the 1.6 SDK | 14:55.02 |
| | (they were based on 1.4) | 14:55.09 |
| henrys | anyway let's stay out of business stuff and focus on getting it running. | 14:55.37 |
| paulgardiner_lap | Not being aware of the full story until now, I don't think any of us have asked Brad or Richard what we need to do to get this up and running again. We havent been told categoricaly that we cannot go with the old version for now. | 14:55.55 |
| | And it seemed too that they hadn't altogether connected us with the old Picsel account. | 14:56.36 |
| henrys | paulgardiner_lap: I've been fairly clear with him in email and stated last week on the phone that was the goal and he seems to acknowledge it. | 14:56.49 |
| pedro_pc | told them originally that we wanted to just rebrand and asked if we could just use the 1.4 SDK and they recommended we do 1.6 | 14:57.10 |
| | not a concrete 'no you can't' | 14:57.57 |
| paulgardiner_lap | yeah, but given the 5-10k a week, we could have foregone the rebranding if we could have simply put back the old version for sale | 14:58.38 |
| pedro_pc | if it is on the appstore then the issue is commercial (or the fact that we dont have access to the Picsel partner acount) | 14:59.16 |
| | anyway, its meeting time I think | 15:00.00 |
| henrys | pedro_pc: we can push the point at the meeting if you want. | 15:00.02 |
| pedro_pc | https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/smart-office-for-good/id555338750?mt=8 | 15:01.06 |
| | henrys: probably worth getting a straight answer if we can | 15:01.28 |
| paulgardiner_lap | Not used webex before. It's asking for my phone number. Can it not use my mic? | 15:02.54 |
| jogux_mac | paul> I think there's a "call using pc" or something | 15:03.12 |
| | but if you're doing full screen sharing a phone may avoid any audio breakups due to bandwidth issues | 15:03.38 |
| pedro_pc | paul: did you use the conference link or the webex link? | 15:03.43 |
| jogux_mac | ah, possibly ignore me ;-) | 15:03.54 |
| pedro_pc | webex appears to have taken out my mouse - be there in a mo. | 15:05.39 |
| chrisl | Hmm, my brand new Fedora Core 20 VM install just ate itself doing an update - what a PITA :-( | 15:24.44 |
| rayjj | well, my patch fixes a few things, but a segfault showed up with tests_private/pdf/sumatra/693097_-_knockout_memory_overwrite.pdf | 15:30.43 |
| | at least I can reproduce it on windows :-/ | 15:31.07 |
| henrys | pedro_pc, paulgardiner_lap I hope this show isn't holding him phoning the engineer. | 15:34.27 |
| pedro_pc | :) | 15:34.47 |
| | sounds to me like theres no reason for any revenue hold-up | 15:35.05 |
| | for legacy customers at least | 15:35.32 |
| | henrys: if its such a pain for them to do fix things then they could just give us the contact details for all the existing customers and issue new apps via Artifex partner group. A bit of a pain but this is taking ages... | 15:43.02 |
| henrys | pedro_pc: changing the direction of this sort of person is usually disastrous | 15:50.06 |
| pedro_pc | can have him taken out | 15:50.21 |
| Robin_Watts | pedro_pc: This channel is logged :) | 15:50.46 |
| pedro_pc | : meant "for drinks"... | 15:51.00 |
| Robin_Watts | Hmm. | 15:51.56 |
| | One might reasonably think that encode_color and decode_color should be complementary operations :) | 15:52.18 |
| pedro_pc | wonders if I can take over his whiteboard session and just add myself into the partner group like I did for Paul on Artifex's... | 15:52.48 |
| Robin_Watts | decode 0x1122334455667788 and then encode it again, and cups gives 0x2211443366558877 | 15:53.17 |
| henrys | pedro_pc: I'll stall him with a question while you break in ;-) | 15:53.34 |
| pedro_pc | :) | 15:53.39 |
| | robin: round-trip conversion is overrated | 15:56.46 |
| Robin_Watts | Usually, I am stupidly nosey, and very keen to be included on every business phone call possible. | 16:02.22 |
| henrys | we've broken an hour and I don't feel wiser | 16:02.31 |
| kens | ?me is happy not to be included in this one | 16:02.48 |
| Robin_Watts | Oddly, I'm thinking I made the right decision by skipping this particular interaction | 16:02.50 |
| Robin_Watts | does a tor and drops his laptop. | 16:04.55 |
| pedro_pc | that was fun | 16:16.20 |
| paulgardiner_lap | Ah damn! I've chewed off all the fingers from my right hand without noticing | 16:16.46 |
| pedro_pc | anyway, it seems like we're doing all the right stuff, just on the wrong account | 16:16.54 |
| | paulgardiner_laptop: its ok, they'll grow back eventually | 16:17.17 |
| paulgardiner_lap | I wonder about outstanding revenue | 16:17.30 |
| henrys | It was ploy to guarantee we'll never schedule a meeting with him again. clever | 16:17.48 |
| pedro_pc | success on his part. | 16:18.01 |
| jogux_mac | wonders which city/country the engineer is in :-) | 16:18.17 |
| pedro_pc | Probably worth chasing up with Brad about revene on the basis that the existing app should still be live, deployable by existing customers and functional | 16:18.44 |
| paulgardiner_lap | Yes exactly | 16:19.01 |
| henrys | jogux_mac: sunnyvale ca - probably a shortage of engineers again | 16:19.15 |
| paulgardiner_lap | We can probably request records even if they aren't avaiable via that interface | 16:19.34 |
| kens | You cold send Ray round next time :-) | 16:19.34 |
| henrys | jogux_mac: oh you mean the person who can actually help us. | 16:19.52 |
| pedro_pc | if Good are brokering the deals then they will have access to all the info and (presumably) all payments go through them | 16:19.59 |
| jogux_mac | henrys: yes ;-) | 16:19.59 |
| paulgardiner_lap | The 5-10k a week may not be lost, just sitting with them, although I guess we were mainly talking about new deals | 16:25.12 |
| | One thing I've only just relised is confusing me, if the development versions are also managed through that interface, why do we need to set up two servers of our own for testing? Do you get that Pete? | 16:26.30 |
| pedro_pc | that's just the app registration - we still need the GC / GP to manage users and issue access keys | 16:37.51 |
| | the partner portal pushes app details to the NOC | 16:39.03 |
| | basically the partner portal handles most of the "Manage Applications" part of the GC UI *if* you're a Good Partner | 16:41.22 |
| | (a fact that wasn't clear until we got an Artifex account, by which time we'd burned a fair amount of effort trying to get things working through the GC...) | 16:42.52 |
| paulgardiner_lap | ah I see | 16:43.11 |
| pedro_pc | its possible for an enterprise to develop its own corporate apps and have them deployed purely through their own GC(s) rather than using the Partner portal to sell them to other copanies | 16:44.42 |
| | or companies | 16:44.47 |
| paulgardiner_lap | So with access to the old account would we be able to do without our own servers? Or do we still need them for key issue? | 16:46.42 |
| kens | chrisl I'#m not sure how much use it is, but the error in that font is in gs_ttf.ps, /is2byte called from /findname. It appears to try and decide whether its a 2 byte font based on (somehow) a name record. But it only has 4 entries in the packed array, and the value its pulling out is 33, so it gets an error. | 16:58.34 |
| | Looks like that isn't the whole sotry though | 17:00.08 |
| chrisl | kens: I thought /findname was only for use with Postscript fonts..... | 17:00.10 |
| kens | chrisl its used (and defined) inside gs_ttf.ps | 17:00.29 |
| chrisl | I must be thinking of another, similar function | 17:00.49 |
| kens | THere may be another one with the same name of course ;-) | 17:01.02 |
| | I did a quick hack to get past the problem, but it didn't work anyway, just went wrong further on | 17:01.20 |
| | Oh, but if I hack it so is2byte returns 'false' then the file works properly | 17:01.56 |
| rayjj | Wow. Bug 692242 page 8 is a definite progression with my patch -- didn't look like it, but now we match Adobe | 17:02.39 |
| kens | All I did was test the value returned by getu16 in /is2byte, and if its 3 or less I use the existing code, if its not I returned false | 17:02.46 |
| | chrisl it sort of looks like its trying to determine an encoding, but I'm far from certain. | 17:03.27 |
| kens | will leave it to Chris if that's ok | 17:03.35 |
| chrisl | Sure, I'll take a quick look on the plane | 17:03.50 |
| | Along with the new feature request.... which I think could be a bit of a nightmare | 17:04.27 |
| kens | It looks like it might actually be fairly easy,I just don't understand what the PostScript code is up to here. Possibly a TT refrence and a copy of ttfdump would be useful | 17:04.28 |
| | Well I think the feature request is dumb | 17:04.43 |
| | Don't add substitutes to the substitution table if the font you are substituting with doesn't exist. How hard is that to understand ? | 17:05.11 |
| chrisl | Well, it's not totally illogical - I think the way it works now is bonkers...... | 17:05.32 |
| | It's also not the same as how the *font* substitution works, IIRC | 17:06.07 |
| kens | Consistency ? We've heard of that..... | 17:06.20 |
| chrisl | I believe it was mentioned at some point! | 17:06.53 |
| kens | chrisl I've assigned that bug to you and written some drivel about what I found in the thread | 17:08.57 |
| chrisl | kens: okay, thanks | 17:09.15 |
| kens | ANd now, I'm off for dinner, see you all tomorrow or Sunday/Monday for the US residents. | 17:09.37 |
| | Night all | 17:09.38 |
| chrisl | nite kens | 17:09.43 |
| | So, for the second time, Fedora core 20 ate itself - I give up...... | 17:16.14 |
| marcosw | chrisl_away: for the logs, package just arrived for you. | 20:29.29 |
| | Forward 1 day (to 2014/05/31)>>> | |
