Free fonts for myspace software for linux

Font Mate application helps you to see how fonts look on your computer, and it also helps you find symbol characters.

Using Font Mate

There isnt much to it: Font Mate shows you a list of all the fonts installed on your computer. Choose any font from the list and it will show you what all the characters in that font look like. Choose any one of those characters and you will see an enlarged version of it at the bottom of the page (with its ASCII code in decimal and hex, should you be interested). Click the button to copy that character to the clipboard if you want to use it in another application.

Works on...

We wrote Font Mate originally for Mac OS X, but we have included versions for Windows and Linux too. We wrote it using REALbasic, a great tool for cross-platform rapid development. Source is available on request.

How much?

Font Mate is freeware. Download, use, share as you wish. No warranty is offered, and we accept no liability for anything strange or nasty that it might do to your computer.

FONTpage is a Python font viewing and image-generating utility. It displays system fonts and allows you to change the font size and color, background color, font face, bold, and italics.
It also has the ability to input the text to be displayed, which you can choose to save as a PNG file. It is handy to view fonts and styles quickly, or to make "logo" graphics.
It was written to supersede wxFontView, as the pyGTK toolkit is much lighter and more widely used.
Enhancements:
- New "Display Font" feature opens popup window with complete alphabet (upper and lower case) and 0-9.
- Window shows current font with current size -- use multiple windows to compare different fonts.
- Font size now scales up to 256 pts (was 128)
- Config file will now track last window dimensions when the application is restarted.
- If user font directory directory (~/.fonts) does not exist, FONTpage will create one. This is to facilitate installing and deleting fonts, which FONTpage will only do on a per-user basis. (This is to avoid problems.)

FontForge is an outline font editor that lets you create your own postscript, truetype, opentype, cid-keyed, multi-master, cff, svg and bitmap (bdf) fonts, or edit existing ones.
Also lets you convert one format to another. FontForge has support for many macintosh font formats.
FontForges user interface has been localized for: (English), Russian, Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish.
With the appropriate libraries, FontForge can import png, tiff, and gif images to act as character backgrounds for tracing purposes (FontForge can import bmp and xbm formats without external libraries).
With libxml2 FontForge can read SVG fonts. With the freetype library FontForge will do a better job making bitmap characters for you.
None is required for the proper compilation/execution of FontForge, if the libraries are not present they will not be used.
Enhancements:
- Support has been added for version 2 of the Spline Font DB format.

WWW::Myspace is a Perl module to access MySpace.com profile information from Perl.

WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS MODULE FOR MASS MESSAGING OR COMMENTING.

Myspace will cripple or disable your account:

Older accounts:

Messages will appear in your Sent folder but not in the receivers inbox, although theyll be able to see it if theyre paging through from another message. The receiver will get a "New Comments" notification and be able to see your comment, but it wont appear on the profile page.

Newer accounts:

If you created your myspace account in or after June 2006 (approximately), and you use a "bot" (including this module) to send messages, your message sending ability will be disabled and your account may be deleted. This is due to security features myspace has implemented to prevent spam abuse by people using multiple accounts.

SYNOPSIS

WWW::Myspace.pm provides methods to access your myspace.com account and functions automatically. It provides a simple interface for scripts to log in, access lists of friends, scan users profiles, retreive profile data, send messages, and post comments.

use WWW::Myspace;
my $myspace = WWW::Myspace->new ($account, $password);
OR
my $myspace = new WWW::Myspace; # Prompts for email and password
unless ( $myspace->logged_in ) { die "Login failed: " . $myspace->error }

my ( @friends ) = $myspace->get_friends();

This module is designed to help you automate and centralize redundant tasks so that you can better handle keeping in personal touch with numerous friends or fans, or coordinate fan communications among multiple band members. This module operates well within MySpaces security measures. If youre looking for a spambot, this aint it.

WWW::Myspace works by interacting with the site through a UserAgent object, using HTTP::Request::Form to process forms. Since by nature web sites are dynamic, if you find that some interaction with the site breaks, check for a new version of this module (or if you go source diving, submit a patch). You can run "cpan -i WWW::Myspace" as a cron job or before running your scripts, if appropriate, to make sure you have the latest version.

x-fontperf is a small utility to measure font rendering/loading time in an x11 environment. Originally intended to see if there is any notable performance difference between a separate font server and local font rendering.
It actually does three different tests:
1) Loading the same font several times
Gives you an average loading time for this particular font. If you use a font already in use in your x-session this should be really quick as this font will be reused and not actually loaded again (cached)
2) Loading the same font in different sizes (incrementing)
Default is from 6 to 144 pixel. Interesting to see how rendering time increases with font size (see option -v)
3) Loading all available fonts
This should give you a good estimate on average fontloading time. Also a good test to stress your system and check if all fonts are loadable (see option -e)
Sample output:
x-fontperf -v

-display X-display to use
-v Increase verbosity (may falsify results)
-e Show errors during tests
-n Number of iterations for test 1 [100]
-min Minimum pixel size for test 2 [6]
-max Maximum pixel size for test 2 [144]
-foundry Foundry of font [*]
-family Family of font [helvetica]
-weight Weight of font [*]
-slant Slant of font [*]
-setwidth Set width of font [*]
-addstyle Additional style of font [*]
-pixelsize Pixel size of font [12]
-pointsize Point size of font [*]
-resolutionX X resolution of font [*]
-resolutionY Y resolution of font [*]
-spacing Spacing of font [*]
-avgwidth Average width of font [*]
-registry Registry of font [iso8859]
-encoding Encoding of font [1]
Verbosity can be increased in three steps by specifying -v several times. No-
tation -vvv is not supported. Use -v -v -v. Errors opening fonts are not shown
by default. Use -e to see them.
-n specifies the number of iterations for test 1. The default of 100 (shown in
brackets) should be ok for most systems. Increase/decrease values for fast/slow
systems
-min/-max specifies the minimum/maximum pixel size for test 2. Pixel sizes are
incremented by one.
The last block of arguments is for specifying the basefont to use for tests 1
and 2. These follow the standard x11 font naming scheme. Again: defaults are
shown in brackets.
Enhancements:
- first public version 1.0

Free Unicode TrueType fonts for Baltic, Central European, South European and other languages, including Azeri, Maori, Welsh and Esperanto.

VSOFont is a small library used to draw very simple and fast user definable 2D vector fonts. At some point in time, when working with handheld devices, the font functions GLUT offered proved to be too massive. so i decided to write a very simple 3D vector text system using OpenGL myself. The application is coded in ANSI C.
Enhancements:
- added vsofont_read_font_from_memory().
- changed vsofont_read_font() to vsofont_read_font_from_file().
- example shows now how to draw a bolded string.
- VSOFONT header file should now work in C++ projects.
- small optimizations here and there.
