Howto: Fix font sizes in Epiphany

elmargol — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:13:05 +0000

This Howto changes the font sizes of Epiphany to the default font size of Firefox
Epiphany by default uses point and not pixel as the default font size unit.

You have to change this:

start Epiphany
goto: about:config
search for: font.size.unit
change: pt to px

Now you have to change the default font sizes:

goto: Preferences -> Font & Style
change: Minimum size to 10
goto: Detailed Font Settings:
change the sizes to: 16, 12, 10

Steal this Film 2

elmargol — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 16:07:09 +0000

Steal this Film 2 ist eine echt sehr gut gemachte Dokumentation über die Geschichte des kopierens. Es lohnt sich diesen Film anzuschauen! Sollte euch der Film gefallen spendet bitte 5$ oder einen anderen Betrag auf deren Seite.

These are strange times indeed. While they continue to command so much attention in the mainstream media, the ‘battles’ between old and new modes of distribution, between the pirate and the institution of copyright, seem to many of us already lost and won. We know who the victors are. Why then say any more?

Steel this film II!

Brother HL-2040 Laser Printer + Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy

elmargol — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 14:16:14 +0000

Da mein alter Drucker gestorben ist musste ich einen neuen Drucker kaufen.

Nach kurzer suche habe ich mich für die Firma Brother entschieden.

Brother is now developing drivers which are designed to work on Linux distributions, Redhat, Mandriva(Mandrake), SuSE, Debian and FedoraCore. We have developed two types of driver: LPR drivers and CUPS drivers.

Ich habe mich für einen günstigen Brother HL-204 0 Laser Drucker entschieden, ~130€

Habe den Drucker ausgepackt Stecker rein und funktioniert.
