					<description>Thanks for fixing it. It's a bit sad that bugs in gnome-terminal don't get fixed for 7 years though.  Something I'm missing in gnome-terminal: it does not allow to change the color of the cursor.  At least xterm and xfce4-terminal allow to customize the color of the cursor.</description>

					<description>I gotta say, I've been using projectors on the last couple of versions of ubuntu on my radeon 9700 with the open source driver on a simple dual screen setup - if I plug in the projector on the VGA-OUT, it just works! I never had a problem with films either..</description>

					<description>Wow, this has been a major irritation for a long time, and I didn't know it was this easy to fix. Lately, I've been using mplayer with "-vo x11 -zoom" or "-vo gl", but this hasn't produced the output I wanted. Thanks a bunch! :)</description>

					<description>Kees - I'm so happy to hear everything has been merged.  And to think we only resurrected the -hardened team six months ago with this as one of the goals.

I'm going to do my best to rally some adoption for SELinux.  Great work!</description>

					<description>You would need to use clearerr. Actually that is a major problem with GIOChannel is that there is no way to clear the EOF (that I can find). Standard IO has clearerr which clears both errors and EOF status. This is an idle reading function from one of my programs (sanitized a little):

&lt;pre&gt;
static gboolean parser_read_icb( SimExec *sim ) {
  SimExec *sim;
  char buf[64] = "", *str;
  gsize bytes_read = 0, curpos, endpos;
  ScenarioStream *ss = NULL;
  
  g_return_val_if_fail( IS_SIM_EXEC(sim), FALSE );
  
  ss = sim-&#62;priv-&#62;parser;
  
  g_return_val_if_fail( sim-&#62;priv-&#62;output_fp, FALSE );
  
  clearerr( sim-&#62;priv-&#62;output_fp );
  if( sim-&#62;priv-&#62;status == SIM_EXEC_RUNNING ) {
    curpos = ftell( sim-&#62;priv-&#62;output_fp );

    fseek( sim-&#62;priv-&#62;output_fp, curpos, SEEK_SET );
    if( endpos - curpos priv-&#62;output_fp );

      sim-&#62;priv-&#62;output_fp = NULL;
      return( FALSE );
    }
  } else if( bytes_read &#62; 0 ) {
    for( str = buf; *str; str++ )
      if( *str == '\\n' )

    ss-&#62;pspool =

					<description>A year and a half after your post, I'm thinking of using your script to use mythcommflag with SageTV on Linux. My suggestion is that rather than assuming that the frame rate is 29.97 (which it might not be for say, HD recordings), you could use ffmpeg to determine the frame rate. For mpeg2 files ffmpeg -i recordedfile.mpg 2&#62;&#38;1 &#124; grep "Stream #0.0" &#124; sed "s/^.*kb\/s, //;s/tb(.)//" seems to spit out the correct number. It doesn't work for recordings transcoded to nuv though.</description>

					<description>Good presentation, Kees.  In suggestions for further reading, you might consider pointing to David Wheeler's Security Programming for Linux and Unix HOWTO, at: http://www.dwheeler.com/secure-programs/

It's freely available in PDF and HTML format, and it's really a wealth of secure programming information.

I use Epiphany now, but when I used firefox I discovered CookieSwap (a firefox extension) that would allow be to change profiles on the fly.</description>

					<description>I used to use this but I ran into trouble occasionally with the -no-remote parameter. Instead I use a relatively unknown -a parameter to tell Firefox to use a specific application id. "man firefox" documents this parameter. Now I have created launchers for each profile as follows.

firefox -a f1 -P default
firefox -a f2 -P second
firefox -a f3 -P third

It works perfectly for me.</description>

					<description>&#62; Since I haven’t figured out a way to turn off antialiasing for just one font […]

IIRC, you can do this with some proper ~/.fonts.conf XML magic. You can try googling for the proper XML for setting certain font sizes as not-anitaliased (or create such config file with KDE’s font dialogs) and craft your ~/.fonts.conf based on that.</description>

					<description>It seems my entire problem is antialiasing.  That's what causes a given TTF to look really bad in a terminal.  I've tried terminus before, but I find it hard to read quickly, but this is probably just my preference.

Since I haven't figured out a way to turn off antialiasing for just one font, I've switched to bitmap fonts (as detailed above).  I actually ended up turning off the "use bitmap fonts by default" option again, and just explicitly copied the font I wanted into ~/.fonts/ and "accept"ed it as Shot mentioned above.

This still causes problems with bolding, unfortunately.  And it seems that this has been an &lt;a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54926" rel="nofollow"&gt;open bug&lt;/a&gt; against libvte for 6 years now.  :P  I guess I know what I'm going to try to do this weekend...</description>

					<description>Try the Terminus font (xfonts-terminus package), it's great, monospace and doesn't need/use hinting.

Here's a screenshot of how it looks:

					<description>I agree 100%.  Default gnome terminal fonts and other available fonts in terminal are all ugly. And why even propose variable size fonts for a terminal? It's beyond me.

I had opened a bug for this a while ago (bug #165039).  It contains screenshots of gnome-terminal with non anti-aliased font which look a lot nicer:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/165039

I downloaded the MiscFixed font, which is small and looks good. Also, non anti-aliased font makes the terminal significantly faster. I had to reconfigure something to have non antialiased fonts available. I don't remember well, but a google search should give what you're looking for.</description>
