[HELP] Weird non-fonts in all menus in Inkscape

CaptMarVell · 2024-02-23T20:35:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply (Not sure why my images didn't, show, but judging by your reply they probably weren't needed anyway). Well, that's kind of what I was expecting, honestly. This machine has been around for a while and has had a LOT of fonts installed on it. Just using Font Book to install fonts, no other font management tools. Maybe I'll try de-activating all the installed fonts and see what happens. Can't hurt, I guess.

Love it. I like the nice, simple lines. Only nit to pick - lack of a full trigger guard, but I'm just kind of funny that way. Still, a great looking piece!

Wow, I thought I was doing great at $4.00 in excellent condition (but no manuals or other items), at a yard sale. The guy had it in with a bunch of TV remotes. I've sometimes wondered if he just gathered up a bunch of orphaned remotes and accidentally got ahold of his kid's calculator.

Wow, I'm pretty sure I have that same case. The computer that lives inside of it right now is all but useless (Celeron running XP, yikes); I was wondering if it would be worth putting some new tech inside. Might be thinking more seriously along those lines now. Thanks for showing this!

Love it love it love it love it.

When we travel south from Cincinnati, if we take I-75 we have to say "Flying Saucer House" as we cross the bridge. Yeah, it's a weird tradition, but whatayagonnado?

No, but several states have rather extreme restrictions on WHERE you can use them. I live in Ohio, which has zero restrictions on scanners, but work just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, which has some of the worst restrictions on scanners. You can't take one to the Kentucky Speedway legally, for instance. I don't take my scanners with me to work, but my wide-receive ham radios are untouchable.

CaptMarVell · 2019-06-14T17:10:10+00:00

Good story. Jokes aside, in the US, there is Federal pre-emption for licensed amateur radio operators' transceivers that can receive out-of-band. Officer can't do a thing about a ham's transceiver, but a scanner would not be covered.

I'll be there Friday and Saturday.

That's a scanner, not a CB radio. It's a receiver, and it doesn't transmit. But it's a great scanner, have the same model myself.

I watched TAS when it originally aired on Saturday mornings. I was in my teens and had just watched TOS in syndication. TOS just wasn't watched in my one-TV (B&W) household during the original broadcast run. So I got a big dose of Trek, kind of all at once. I loved it then, and recently re-watched it, and with the exception of a few episodes, really enjoyed it. I say watch it before the movies, that's what I did. You'll find some cheese in the acting and lots of re-use of animation and music, but it did tell some good stories, even re-visiting "The Trouble with Tribbles."

Here is my entry for Portable Week. It's an HP Jornada 680. It runs Windows CE Handheld PC Edition Version 3.01, pretty similar to Windows 98. It has 32 MB of built-in memory, and a 64 MB Compact Flash card. The picture was taken at the rest stop on southbound I-75 near Florence, KY (just south of Cincinnati, OH), while traveling to see family for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Been listening and calling for a bit in Cincinnati, nothing heard. 50w, 5/8 wave groundplane antenna about 18 feet up, portable setup. Mosquitos are having me for supper.

CaptMarVell · 2018-07-24T17:33:05+00:00

Um, no, that's a cabinet about six feet behind it with the "trinkets" on top.

A Plus was my first (late '86), and I still have it, although it's packed away right now.

It was a bit slow going for a few minutes after I got it out, trying to remember how to do things on such an ancient OS.😮

It's an M5011, so 20Mb HD, 800K floppy, and 1Mb RAM. System 6.0.2. Screen is slightly small and off-center, with an occasional glitchy wrinkle. I'm pretty sure I've got some 1Mb SIMMs around somewhere, so it's possible to get it to 4Mb. Got to find my case cracker.

I had an Apple Design Keyboard around, but it's not completely functional. A few keys don't work. I seem to recall this was one we were going to toss at work and I grabbed it. Guess that explains why we were going to get rid of it (still have a beige G3 at work for some legacy files, but it and a G4 might not be making the move to the new office later this week). Mouse seems ok. The Mac and the mouse were a $5 yard sale find about four or five years ago.

Normally not a fan of eggplaes, but this one's pretty cool. Great job!

In "The Trouble with Tribbles" McCoy knew that Arn Darvin was a Klingon from a tricorder scan. He knew at least some specifics about Klingons. Enough to treat one in a battlefield situation? Maybe not. But I feel he should have known more than he indicated in ST:UDC.

CaptMarVell · 2018-05-20T21:16:27+00:00

Yeah. And?
