    *random thought* You can tell you're obsessed with computers when you start using unreadable floppy disks as coasters.... or even when you make a coffee table from two old computer cases and a broken flat-screen TV.

    One tip for people running a fresh install of vB3 (you certainly aren't): check your HTTP header configuration so that you don't make IE stuck as IE7

    This is the address of the previous web page from which a link to the currently requested page was followed. (The word “referrer” is misspelled in the RFC as well as in most implementations.)

    Things get interesting when IE's zoom level starting from less than 60% until 30%, by the way. The older fonts use raster characters at small sizes.

    (I hope that you're on a Windows Vista or newer computer, or at least have the fonts installed if on XP)

    Meiryo UI, Microsoft JhengHei, Microsoft YaHei, MS Gothic, PMingLIU, SimHei, SimSun (I see a lot of these fonts these days), no font set (browser fallback)

    The rest = old stuff

    East Asian characters, how do they work XD

    The strange thing is that there is no sans serif/Mingti font for Traditional Chinese in a Windows 7 install

    And shows why you should set some extra fonts in there, too.

    And for text with Latin characters? There are extra three: Segoe UI, Verdana, and Tahoma at the top for comparison purposes

    Maybe we all should use a tag soup parser for logic bombs so it gets corrected to something that makes sense

    The below statement is true.
    The above statement is a lie.

    So someone posted this, and I decided to use the tag soup parser. Which means error correction time, and I just discarded both as invalid

    Preferably, right after standard fonts with Latin character sets.
  28. Twiggy
    April 23, 2012 07:45:48 AM

    Insert them in the usual font-family declarations but don't put them first; let them be substitute fonts as these fonts generally also have a Latin glyph set.

    Meiryo UI complements Segoe UI. That said, if your Page has any Japanese text, it's a good idea to put in that font and other substitutes for when it is missing/unusable so that Asian characters are rendered as well as possible in Web pages. Also gets rids of the raster serif font in browsers, too.

    VLC/FluidSynth sounds so much better than WMP/Microsoft Synthesizer when it comes to most professional MIDIs with the right SoundFont2 files, but it tends to be really picky when it comes to well-formedness of files. Also, sometimes it skips tempo changes in some files. XD

    Sometimes it pays to shuffle around the order of CSS rules just so that your rules are a bit cleaner, and you get to reduce the amount of important declarations.

    If HTML entities were to be converted automatically it might be good and bad at the same time.

    Also, if a forum automatically converts HTML tags to something else or removes them, even with noparse, your only choice is probably these entities XD

    You know what?

    From coding HTML and CSS lately, I have noticed that some IE "bugs" are actually error correction failing hard, telling people that, yup, your code is malformed and it's tripping up error correction.

    At other times, I have seen IE7/8 not behaving - and it all boiled down to forgetting to set some rules on the affected elements because something prior is overriding it.

    Heh. Sometimes it's not as much of a browser bug as a programming fail XD

    Yeah, I recently had to say goodbye to my 13" TV/VCR combo, my monaural VCR, 3 PS1's and 2 NES's... a sad day, it was. On a positive note, as a result of donating all that stuff, I now have room for a "luggable" IBM PS/2 Model P70. It's got a 386, red monochrome display, built-in keyboard, internal hard drive, and a 1.44 MB floppy drive. It's pretty awesome for a suitcase computer from around 1988, and worlds cooler than the Osborne 1. :3

    Something to think about:

    Counting the battle background, non-static background images, the ground rings, all UI elements (including the tilemaps for 2D BG + OBJ elements), all "textures" (actually an image map for easy animation by splicing and tweening) for 6 Pokémon on the scene, and trainer "textures"...

    Hey, that 656K of VRAM is precious!

    Then again, the DS doesn't need a frame buffer to render stuff and most stuff in the games are either 4-bit indexed or uses some kind of S3TC variant. (Don't we love texture compression? Super Mario 64 DS really benefited from it. It also had a bad case of 4 colours every 4x4 block going on as with the usual variants of S3TC)

    For example, Awning, Bay, Casement, Double Hung (my favorite), Hopper, Jalousie and Picture. Those names would be great for the Home version of the product because they’re Windows types for homes.

    And, for the Server operating system, there’s Clear glazing (Clear), Spectrally Selective glazing (Spectral or Spectrum) and Reflective glazing (Reflective). My choices for names are in parentheses for each.

    Alternatively, Microsoft could use Windows performance ratings to describe new versions: U-Value (UV), Shading Coefficient (Shade), Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (Solar or Heat), Visible Light Transmittance (VLT), Ultraviolet Transmittance (Ultra) and Sound Transmission (Multimedia).
