Hi,
Thanks for the answer. I don't have a Linux/UNIX box, and I have very little knowledge on how to use the os. I've D/L fonts in pcf format, added them to the dillo and run.sh and changed the dillorc file, but it doesn't seems to work. The fonts was in a directory with a fonts.dir and fonts.alias files but were not compressed in gzip as the font that came with the dillo, does it matter? Any suggestion? Thanks |

You do. Your iliad is a linux box. You can install dropbear on the iliad and an ssh client on your Windows (e.g. putty)/Mac (macosx is unix-based and has native ssh/scp) and/or an scp client (e.g. winscp on Windows). You can then connect to the iliad, transfer files and open an iliad terminal on your desktop/laptop computer.
I tried to change fonts in dillorc, and it worked. Try to contact Antartica as s/he is the one who ported dillo and probably knows more about it than anyone else on this forum. Last edited by serge; 01-22-2008 at 09:55 AM. |

Hi,
Thanks again for the help. Could you please point me to a download page for the program you specified and to a good (newbie) tutorial on them. ssh, scp and the others things you mentioned says nothing to me. I'm a windows user (yes, I'm little shamed) and know nothing on linux. I need some more help on the connection and terminal thing. Thanks in advance, Ido |

I forgot to mention that there are several dillo versions around.
By editing dillorc, I could change fonts in this one: dillo-0.8.6_iliad-0.7.zip. But not in dillo-i18n.tar.gz - only font scaling was possible. This one is a more useful version, for me, because it can display utf-8 properly. The font here looks fine and I would not want to change it anyway. All versions are not perfect, and in different ways. For instance, google.ru looks fine in minimo, by looking at the html source, I can see that the charset is indeed utf-8. But in the internationalized dillo, this web page is displayed in windows-1251 and it is unreadable. While cyrillic hits in google.co.uk are displayed correctly. This dillo also allows one to read Russian wikipedia. I wonder if there is a site that could convert win-1251 and koi8-r to utf-8 on the fly. Google does it for its cached pages, but if one follows the links, they take him to the original site, where the text is unreadable again... |
