		<description><![CDATA[Wow, that was a meaty piece of work. Serafettin Cartoon fonts now builds with the latest release of FontForge, as well as CVS head, and taught me quite a bit about FontForge in the process. Serafettin had a bunch of glyphs with self-intersection problems, and these were causing FontForge to crash on the Expand Stroke [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently been triaging FontForge bugs on Fedora, and hit a problem with bug 600108, in which the latest version of FontForge crashes while building Serafettin. I patched FontForge locally, so I could identify the glyphs that caused it to crash, but I&#8217;ve now come to the conclusion that Serafettin itself is the problem, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I still have a VT100 terminal, but it&#8217;s in storage. I figured I could pretend that it was on my desk if I made a font that looked like the old beast, including the gaps between scan lines. Once I&#8217;d started, I needed the reverse video form of it, and the forms correctly underlined, and [...]]]></description>

Last weekend I was reading about the Fedora Fonts SIG, and decided to bring the old font files back [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As suspected, the Samsung X120 notebook has the same keyboard quirks as many other Samsung laptops, so that some of the function keys don&#8217;t work correctly under Fedora 11. There are two problems and fixes needed. One, the kernel needs patching so that the quirks with missing key release events are also applied to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just charged my notebook&#8217;s battery fully, then allowed it to discharge while the machine was idle. First of all, I nobbled the power management settings in Fedora 11 to make sure that the screen stayed bright throughout, and it didn&#8217;t perform a neat shutdown when it guessed the battery was close to death. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My lovely Sony Vaio VGN-TX1XP partially died last week, after I managed to drop it while fumbling for the keys to my car. The keyboard doesn&#8217;t work, though the touchpad is fine, and the wireless doesn&#8217;t work. Ho hum. I&#8217;ll have a look at fixing it later, but I really can&#8217;t do without a laptop, [...]]]></description>
