Why contribute to Koha?
by Baytiyeh, Hoda 02 Dec '08

02 Dec '08

Hello, I am a Ph.D. candidate in Instructional Technology at the University of Tennessee. My dissertation focuses on what motivates people to contribute to F/OSS projects. Though it may seem obvious to you, many non-programmers are still suspicious of OSS and think there must be a catch. Can you help me to demonstrate why talented programmers are willing to work for free? My survey should take no more than 15 minutes and asks for no identifying information. Please click on the following link to take the survey. If you are interested in the results of the survey, please send me a message. This is my second request for participation; if you responded already, please ignore this request. <http://ubiquity.utk.edu/limesurvey/index.php?sid=45193&lang=en> http://ubiquity.utk.edu/limesurvey/index.php?sid=45871&lang=en Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks, Hoda Baytiyeh. hodabn(a)utk.edu <mailto:hodabn@utk.edu>

[Bug 2246] Label printing doesn't work with Unicode characters

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2246 joe.atzberger(a)liblime.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary|Label printing doesn't work |Label printing doesn't work |with Hindi characters |with Unicode characters ------- Comment #9 from joe.atzberger(a)liblime.com 2008-12-01 15:05 ------- I disagree with Mason's assessment. PDF generation fails when I have added even one title with one (combining) diacritical character like: "The séance". The error in the log is: label-print-pdf.pl: Wide character in syswrite at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/PDF/Reuse.pm line 968, <DATA> line 228., referer: http://staff-atz.dev.kohalibrary.com/cgi-bin/koha/labels/label-manager.pl?o… As far as I can tell, LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE should be available in any decent font. The more descriptive post from the patch author on Unicode in PDF::Reuse is here: http://groups.google.com/group/PDF-Reuse/browse_thread/thread/4e28d69fedf74… He summarizes: "It seems that the only way to access characters outside the MacRoman/WinAnsi encodings supported by PDF's built-in fonts is to embed a TrueType font. (I'm happy to be corrected if this conclusion in wrong). I've implemented font embedding by grafting Font::TTF and Text::PDF::TTFont0 onto the PDF::Reuse API." I'm not sure that is a correct conclusion on his part (perhaps CMAP or a /name_object would work). The conditions for making PDF::Reuse work even under this new version would be: (1) require PDF::Reuse 0.35, (2) Add two dependencies to Koha, (3) Require ANY font being targeted to be installed on the server, (4) Build an admin interface for selecting target fonts to be embedded, so label scripts can reference them by filepath, (5) Add data structure to remember which batches need which fonts, and (6) Refactor code to use prTTFFont. In the end, the TTFont would be embedded in each PDF generated, meaning a set of barcodes might increase in filesize by several orders of magnitude. In my opinion, PDF::Reuse has a rather severe Unicode workaround, it does not have compatibility. Maybe that's Adobe's fault and not the module's, but right now I'm not sure this path is the right one. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
