Ubuntu :: Font - Alphabet With Directional Arrows
Apr 17, 2011
I have been searching for some time for a font that can be used to put together letters and words for examples to get children learn how to write. I need letters with and without arrows pointing in the direction of how to write the letter. This font will be used for creating worksheets for letters and words. I need to be also able to change the colour of the font to really light gray so that children can also trace the letters.
I found alot of commercial software but was looking something thats free and can be used by a tuition company/tutor to print materials for their students without any license restrictions. In a worst case I can blow up individual letters in open office and manually draw the arrows but would be great if a font exists that can be used as would give great scope in future projects.

I need a good bi-directional sync. tool like unison, that would work properly over ssh and allow manual decisions and merging if both sides (local&remote) contain changes. unison meets most of my needs, the only drawback is the compatibility - it needs to be installed on both sides, and with the same version. Nowadays it's a bit of a problem, if you have say OS11.3 on one node, SL3 on the other and a MacOS on the third. In my view one only needs the ssh connection, all the rest of the file analysis should be done by the local software. Anyone knows such a tool?

I would like to know if there is a program such as edraw:
[URL]
that I can use to make directional diagrams in linux. I know about inkscape but I would like a program that has a premade library of shapes. I also know about Dia Diagram but it doesnt have a sheet of shapes that suits me.

i am trying to represent alphabet into a array, and then i can count the frequency
for example
array[a]=0
array[b]=0
but i find the index of the array seems to be
array[1]=0
array[2]=0
I was try this way get the ascii for them, actually I have done this in java and it is simple.
something like this format
array[ascii{a}-ascii{a}]=0
array[ascii{b}-ascii{a}]=0
I have done a lot of searching , but cannot get what I want.'%d' "'$char" like this would not work.

I need to add arrows, text, geometric shapes, etc. to graphical charts. Gimp doesn't have any way to easily add arrows (that I know of) -it's way sophisticated compared to what I need.Back in the MS Windows world I used to use Snagit Studio. I could probably run that in Wine but I'd prefer something native.

i've switched over from windows7 and a feature that i really miss is to be able to use the Key Combination of Win(Super)+Arrow Keys to move the windows about.iE if i did super+Left the window would move to the left side of the screen and super+up maximized it.im pretty sure that there is some way to mimic this in ubuntu.

I've Intellij Idea and Netbeans installed on my Ubuntu desktop. Both worked fine while I was on 10.10.After upgrading to 11.04 both of them became irresponsive to Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V/Ctrl+{Any alphabet letter} combinations. However these combinations work in non-Java apps (e.g. gedit).Besides that Ctrl+Alt+L (Lock screen) is not handled by the system, no matter what application is active.Disabling unity does not help. Starting in ubuntu classic w/o effects does not help either.

For as long as i can remember, using arrows (and home/end) in a bash shell that has a command running would print some fancy ^[[A caracters and then return the prompt at the end of this.
Now this behavior has changed. Using the arrows while a command is running actually moves the cursor on the screen. When the command completes the prompt appears at the new cursor position which is kind of strange and messes the screen.
For testing, just enter "sleep 10" and during the wait move the cursor with the arrows and home/end.
How can i get back the original behavior?

I've several questions to ask: Why do some files have black arrows pointed outward in my file system? Why are some files in compressed form, e.g. initrd.img?? How are such files used by the system??

The way I organize all my files into their folders, they add up quickly. I like having a quick way to keep more frequently accessed folders at the top of the list in explorer. In windows, folder "[zippidy do da]" would appear above folder "aardvark" because of the brackets, but Ubuntu's file browser ignores the brackets, making my old method ineffective. I could put a zero in front of such folders

I'm running Debian Squeeze, and I have a gnome theme called "Moomex" installed. I have had it for a while and it has worked fine, until it suddenly stopped displaying menu scroll arrows (like for long bookmark menus in web browsers). I can still scroll, but in place of the arrows is a solid colored rectangle that clashes with my theme. I went searching and found my theme's arrow image files (see code below). I have no idea how these files are implemented into the theme display, so I don't know how to re-enable them. I tried reinstalling the theme, but it changed nothing. These arrows show up just fine in any other stock theme, and they were fine in this one too until they randomly disappeared.

Essentially I have found this guide, but it is for miktex, i need a guide for texlive on Debian/Ubuntu which will not pollute dpkg installed texmf.
I'm interested in converting TrueType font to be usable in (pdf)(La)TeX.
All the power google turn up just stuff f relating how to install microsoft fonts or do stuf on MikTeX.
I CANNOT USE XeLaTeX!!! I use pstricks and the font must be available in plain TeX! Otherwise my document looks inconsistent!

Most of my work happens in a terminal, so I need a clear, readable font. I've settled a while ago on Terminus [URL]..., which works wonders for me. I added XTerm*faceName : Terminus in my ~/.Xdefaults, and I do get the Terminus font. Unfortunately, a lot of Unicode glyphs are missing (mathematical symbols, greek and hebrew letters), displaying as little square blocks instead.
If I remove the faceName entry, the default configuration seems able to display most of the glyphs (including math, greek, hebrew, runic, and whatever else), but the default font is much harder to read.
A google search hints that it should be possible to use Terminus as the default font, and fallback to (an)other one(s) for missing glyphs, but provides no further explanation. I've seen documentation that recommends Bitstream Vera Sans as a fallback, but it lacks the glyphs I need too; I don't know how to identify the default font used by xterm either, I had a look at /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, but all I can find are generic references to old pre-fontconfig font names.
Using Gentoo Linux, fontconfig and xterm are up to date, USEs trutype and unicode enabled, X.Org server 1.6.
Edit: I alternate between Ratpoison, Awesome and XMonad, without a desktop environment.

Can't find info on how to move my hundreds of Camino bookmarks from a Mac G5 power-pc OSx Leopard to Ubuntu setup onto an older AMD PC. Camino doesn't appear to have a Linux version at least that I can find. If it does have one I would prefer Camino. Probably not so is it preferable in any way discernable, to the Firefox that I'm using now (doesn't look like it to me)?
Secondly, the vertical arrows for paging up and down on the screen - can't seem to find the preference that puts them together at the bottom instead of up arrow at the top and down arrow at the bottom.

Actually I want to log a bug but I don't really know what package to log it against. The problem is that by default Pango is choosing the AR PL UMing CN as the font to render Japanese text when the current font doesn't have Japanese glyphs. But AR PL UMing CN is a Chinese font, so Chinese glyphs for kanji characters (e.g., 覚) are displayed. This is jarring and confusing for Japanese readers.
This situation mostly arises when you have mixed English and Japanese text. Some applications (for instance Firefox) will allow you to select a font for Asian text. Thus if the text contains only Asian characters it will use the font you select, rather than what Pango would have selected. But if it is a mix of English and Japanese, you end up with the wrong glyphs.
Other environments (like gnome-terminal, or a gedit) have difficulties as well. Since the primary interface requires mono spaced roman characters you run into difficulty selecting fonts. Most Japanese fonts only have proportional roman characters. This means that if use a nice roman font and use Japanese text (for instance file names), you end up with Chinese glyphs. What I want is a mechanism that will work across all of Gnome for selecting the font I want to use for Chinese characters. That way I can choose either Japanese or Chinese glyphs.
I realize this is low priority. It only bugs me a little, but many of my Japanese colleagues are put off from using Ubuntu because they are confused by the Chinese glyphs that pop up on my screen from time to time. As I said, I'd like to file a bug, but I'm not sure against what package...

In all previous versions of KDE I had Console8x16 set as KDE font for all cases (Settings->Appearance->Fonts). After tonight upgrade, this (only!) font is not working. I can see it in font manager, I can set it in ...Appearance->Fonts, but actually remains default font. Two of about 30 attempts somehow (can not reproduce) succeeded to set "console 12" font, but it disappeared after restart.
1. What can be the problem in 4.4?
2. In /usr/share/fonts tere are 3 files named console8x16.pcf, console8x8.pcf and console9x15.pcf, but in the font list in Appearance->Fonts I can see only 2 - one named "Console" (seems to be 8x16 and "console" (8x8). File 9x15 does not appear at all. Why?
Last results of attempts: cannot use console font in part of areas, while part works OK. For example: kdevelop editor, kmail message body text works OK. But kmail other parts - does not. The most interesting is that although setting the kmail body message text to console displays the message body text correctly (with console font), but the example message in "Configure kmail" dialogue "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog" is displayed in the default font, as if there is no console font!

I am seeing a weird error in a font display. I see a small question mark next to a font that I am using as a simple graphic. Does this mean that some function call in xlib is being passed an invalid paramter?

I'm referring to the text that you see when you press CTRL+ALT+F1
I've tried "fixed" as well as "terminus", and they aren't the font I want. They're very wimpy and thin, too hard to read on my netbook. The TTY font is loud and clear. I'm trying to set up the gui version of the terminal to use this font and haven't had any luck so far.
For some reason dell decided that keys F1-F12 aren't that important, so I have to hold down CTRL+ALT+FN+F1 to get the tty. Rather annoying so I'd rather have the font there in my terminal app.
Does the tty even use fonts? Or are the glyphs programmed into it?

I've seen a lot of documents which use a really beautiful font. This is an example:[url] I mean the font which is used for "Problems", 'The area of a regular...'. Well, I found out that it's somehow called TeX font and I tried to download it. Unfortunately, this is font is separated in many, many files (Italic, Bold, Standard, Italic Bold, Math symbols, other symbols ...). It's horrible, because I would just like to use that font in OpenOffice. I wouldn't like to still change the style by choosing another font. Is there a place where I can download the combined TTF file? So I would just have the bold, italic, math symbols and other symbols in one font without having to choose the different one to just change a style or to enter a copyright sign?

I have to send CVs to people as Word docs. I compose them using Linux Libertine font. This means that if I send them as they are, they will almost certainly be viewed in a completely inappropriate font. I have tried creating a copy converted to Times New Roman, but the result is inferior. I am also uncomfortable with this because I tend to end up with the originals the copies out of sync. I would rather have just one doc file for each type of CV.What I would like to know is:
1. Is there a serif font that all MS Office users are certain to have that is a less scrappy looking alternative to Times New Roman? It doesn't have to look identical to Linux Libertine, but none of the other MS core fonts look right.
2. Is there a way of specifying a generic serif font as a substitution in Word docs created in OpenOffice Writer like there is in HTML?

After Installing 10.04, I've noticed that web browsers seem to be ignoring the font rendering settings set for the ui (System>Preferences>Appearance>Fonts).So far I've tried Firefox, Chromium and Opera, and text renders equally blurry in all of them. Changing from one rendering method to another has an effect on menu bars etc, but doesn't change how text appears inside of a browser, for better or worse.
