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.

CrystalAudio is a FVWM-Crystal configuration tuned for use on an audio workstation. It has many new applications for the menu, including many sound-related applications and improved sound controls. The project launches qjackctl at startup.
The final goal of the project is to make the FVWM-Crystal menu compatible with the freedesktop specification and to provide some tools to generate the menu entries and icons from desktop and icon files provided by the applications in the system.
Enhancements:
- generate-fvwm-crystal-menu work with both new and old type application desktop files, so it is time for the 2.0 version.
- A lot of debugging have been done on that script: See the ChangeLog for the details.
- Added support for stalonetray in all the recipes.

Finance::InteractiveBrokers::TWS is a Perl module that lets you talk to Interactivebrokers Traders Workstation using Perl.

With SMB for Fuse you can seamlessly browse your network neighbourhood as were it on your own filesystem.
Instead of mounting one Samba share at a time, you mount all workgroups, hosts and shares at once. Only when youre accessing a share a connection is made.
Main features:
- Browsing workgroups/hosts and shares from any application
- Streaming of files (movies/music)
- Browsing the network is fast because all hosts and shares are cached
Other solutions as GnomeVFS or KIO slaves provide a similar solution, but have a few disadvantages:
- Programs need to be rewritten to make them network transparent.
- KIO Slaves cannot stream files making movie/music playing over LAN impossible.
- Gnome VFS just is unstable on my system, although is offers streaming.
- Automounting shares is possible, but you cannot see more than 8 at a time, because NT Workstation limits the number of connections its also a lot slower.

Chess Training Tools is a collection of chess training tools. It includes a chess visualization trainer that teaches chess visualization by drilling you on the color of a particular square, and also on your ability to tell if two squares are the same color, if two (or three) squares are on the same diagonal, if two squares are a knight move apart, or if two squares are two knight moves apart.
This is a program that I wrote for my own use to improve my chess visualization ability. I decided to share it with other players, since I believe they can benefit from it. It basically helps you remember what color the squares are, how the pieces move, and so on, all in your head.
It does so by posing you various excercises that, if practiced every day, will let you visualize positions without the aid of a board.
I use this tool every day. You may want to use it the way I do, or you could develop your own method of training. I work my way through the panels, doing 20 of each excercise. I proceed Color->Same Color->Diagonal 2->Diagonal 3->Knight->Knight 2->Mate.
Then, after all of that I play a game against Vince. Start slow, by either lagging the display by one ply, or by blanking out one quadrant. Work your way up to the 7 ply and four quadrants.
Enhancements:
- This release added undo, or move takeback to the PlayTest ("Vince").

Suse Kickoff for Kubuntu is a version of the new Kickoff KDE menu for Suse, made to work on a Kubuntu workstation.

Tweak it some more by installing beagle and kerry. Thanks to jvc jvcharles you can download the 2.2 mb file right here and you can change the launch button by renaming the .png and mng image files in the /kicker/pics folder.
