random jottings

Feeling rather awful this morning, but attempting to work anyway.  Fin made me breakfast. It was lovely.

Last night, I removed more metacity-specific dialogue code and replaced it with calls to Zenity. The solution used GLib signals; I may also use them to replace a few homebrew callback systems.

The other night I spent a few minutes using Perl to turn English text from the Latin to Shavian alphabets. You can play with it if you like. You can get more into 140 characters that way!

If any Pango expert reading this has an idea why in GNOME bug 571056 (code snippets attached there) Pango fails to report the height of mixed English and Telugu text, I would love to hear about it.

And as ever, don’t forget to keep up with the Metacity blog.
