| Hi I just wrote a Rexx script that does this thanks to the sputilities found on Hobbes. You can drag and drop an .exe on it and it will add it to the registry than open the program and it will let you uninstall after closing the program if necessary. If you drop an installed program on it will give you the option of uninstalling. Warning this is my first Rexx script that uses functions. It also works from commandline. It isn't everything the requester wanted but if anyone wants to try it, I email it to you. I may upload it to hobbes when and if I get the it to use list files. Email is ygk at qwest dot net Thanks PS: the present bounty is probably slightly more than I deserve. |

| I created a DLL that has all the required functions to interface with the registry settings of the font engine. (detectFontEngine, enable/disableFontEngine, enable/disableHinting, enable/disableAntiAliasing, enable/disableSubPixelRendering, enable/disableApplication, add/deleteApplication...) This DLL uses exports in the OS/2 REGISTRY.DLL. Any GUI designer can use this DLL to build a GUI on top of it. (the DLL itself is written in C) Let me know if there is any interest. |

| Hi Gregg, Warpcafe! Oh, well... fortunately I was at the beginning stages of development... :-/ I was still implementing the rexx dll interface to the registry functions, and now I discover there are TWO already implemented! Well, I guess I'll have time for something else.. Warpcafe, can't wait for your program!! Thankyou, Bye Cris |

| Hi folks, well, you see... that rexx Stuff is basically some kind of "workaround". That type of task actually should be done via the WPS or an extension to it. Or like xworkplace handles hotkeys or whatever... but I can't do it in rexx. The program is called Feffer ("Front-End For Font Engine Registry"). And it's done in DrDialog and uses sputils (of course...). At a later stage (if more than two people find it useful...<g> ) I'll add more options and maybe a more decent GUI, but for now it only does the basic stuff. (Gotta leave now - I'm in hurry to set up 6 xp clients to access a Windows SBS 2003... that really hurts, but I need the money...) Greetings |

| Well, my DLL cannot be called from REXX programs. So to utilize the DLL, one would have to write the front end in C or Pascal. I will add a bit of documentation to the function calls, and then upload it together with a very small command line test program to hobbes. At the moment, I doubt that I will be able to create a nice GUI, but with the DLL, basically anybody could write one. |

I just tested it, and it works! ![]() From the "future plans" in the readme, I would say doing the localization NOW would be a good idea, as it will decrease the number of required changes in the future! Besides that, I thought about your "export a list of working application" idea. That sounds pretty good! (like the Odin application database) Actually, it would be even better, if this data could be transfered to a server in the internet by the program itself! So that all people can see what applications have been tested with the font engine. (and could even import "all of them" to their local registry) How does that sound? |

| I just tried feffer. It seems to work fine. I did find one problem which is related to a change Innotek made in the 2.60 beta which is the version I am using. They changed the location of the registry keys for the programs they install by default. This means that feffer can't change these programs or as in my case any other programs that were added at the new registry site. Below is the relavent portion of the 2.60 beta readme. Thanks for creating this great little program.

| Gregg, okay - thanks a lot for the info. I didn't know there was a newer (beta) version out. But this change is very welcome, because - frankly - it didn't make much sense to me that they stored the stuff in the user-part of the registry. Now for feffer, this means that the optimal solution would be to retrieve the ft2lib version from the dll. Unfortunately, I don't know of any rexx-callable dll to the appropriate API (in windows, it's the versioninfo() IIRC, part of the advapi pack). I'm pretty sure that os/2 has a counterpart to that, but... hmm... maybe this could be worth another bounty? Anyway - the only thing I might do now is either make the "base registry tree" used by feffer configurable (either by config file/ini file or by an option dialog) or try to implement a "manual" way of scanning the dll file to retrieve the version. Alternatively, I could even think of a routine that is called during a possible installation script for feffer which determines the ft2lib version ONCE and configures feffer accordingly. Which one would you prefer? If instead we make this another bounty (rexx-interface to the advapi functions) all (rexx) programmers would benefit from it. Let me know what you think please. Thanks again for the info... Greetings |

| Thomas I think it might be simpler to check the default install to determine if 2.60 is installed. Unless someone has played with the registry and deleted keys a check for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\InnoTek\InnoTek Font Engine\applications\firefox.exe should verify that version 2.60 is being used since the earlier versions don't use the local machine key and this could then triger code to check both local machine and current user for applications and or settings with all additions or changes to duplicate entries defaulting to local machine if it is present. While this is probably not the cleanist solution it should work fine and if you are concerned it could be corrupted a check for all the defaults ie just the Local machines..."applications" key being present (which I don't believe existed prior to 2.60 (should be checked)) could verify the version level. These keys can be easily checked with sputils so they don't require anything new. I would be happy to test a version using this logic to verify that it works. Again thank you for your efforts on this project Gregg |

| Warpcafe, you could simply invoke "bldlevel" on ft2lib.dll and redirect it into a file or a queue for later parsing. I've verified that ft2lib contains bldlevel information (at least the 2.60 beta). I tried feffer both on a VirtualPC image of eCS1.2 and on my main system with eCS1.1. On the 1.1 system I have a problem: when starting feffer I get a DrRexx dialog box with an error registering one of the functions... as soon as I get home I'll post a screenshot, I don't remember the details now. I find feffer useful and quite well done, thankyou! I see that now the bounty starts to be interesting Thankyou! Cris P.S. no, the beta is not closed. you can download the new beta from Innotek's website. |

Cris, thanks for the bldlevel info. At least, this helps in finding out what possible solutions can be done. For the font problem: Yes, I know. Unfortunately, DrDialog doesn't provide common methods and the DnD-support for objects "outside" of DrDialog is quite bad... which means: I will have to save font (and color) information at the end and load it at startup. But your comment ist definitely RIGHT! A useful os/2 program should provide this. As for the DrRexx dialog box... hm.. this MIGHT be due to a missing dll that sputils requires in order to access the registry. I remember something been said about that somewhere... need to look into it again. Thanks for the support! |

If something else (or nothing) was supplied, nothing changes - feffer will use the HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree like before.

| Hello, well... there's various things that come together here. If you want a per-user setting, then basically the HKLM path should only store the installation path or the version number installed for the ft2lib. All "settings" types should be stored in user paths (for the named user) and will be loaded dynamically into the CURRENT_USER path once a user logs on. In fact, for me the only thing that counts is to know how the ft2lib loads its settings (= which path in the registry is used). Anyway, the future version of feffer will scan both parts of the registry and retrieve the ft2lib version. It might then offer to "reorganize" the registry keys. This way, we'll have no problems with upgrading or downgrading the ft2lib. Perhaps I should talk with the innotek people about how they intend the ft2lib to work (now and in the future). Greetings |

| Hi, I am still trying to find some time to finish the 1.x GA version of the "new" feffer. In all, it will be mostly cosmetic improvements, localization features (NLS feature) and the ability to function with "both" versions of the InnoTek font engine. The problem is time: I am preparing this years Warpstock Europe along with Roderick Klein and Roland Schmalenberg and this takes up a considerable amount of my spare time (which is not much yet). I suggest that we should split up the bounty amongst everyone who has contributed whatsoever here. Personally, I want the bounty manager to keep "my" share for an upcoming bounty that I will suggest in the near future: An update to DrDialog that helps bringing up "neat GUIs" with Warp4 notebook style support and "transparent background" labels and maybe "real containers" that can have *real* background images instead of tricking around to get it done. But anyway: With or without bounty, feffer will be continued as long as there is at least one person who finds it helpful regardless if Innotek one day will decide to include something equal/better with their font engines.

| Folks, I think due to teh nature of this thread, it's the right place to ask a few questions regarding the ft2lib version 2.60: - Can someone report about bugs with that version? Thanks in advance! |

In general it is "better". I have seen several reports on various lists and newsgroups of issues that were resolved by 2.60. Memory usage is listed as a fix. |
