dillo web browser for the iliad

[Hans_Poppel]

Hi,
You may change font scaling by editing dillorc file. Options dialog is a separate program which edit the same file. I shall correct options, but it is not priority for me now

Ok. I see that they have updated the patch since the last time I tried it . Hope they have improved the stability.

Right now I've no time, but ASAP I'll post the patch for iliad support broken up in little patches. Hope they also apply with that (huge) patch applied.

When I manage to do it, I'll post here for your info.

I've uploaded the splitted patches. They are in

http://projects.mobileread.com/iliad...atch-splitted/

The last distributed version of dillo only had incorporated the lines included in:
- iliad-support
- file
- next-v3

The one I mentioned for supporting latin1 utf-8 characters is in
- utf-support-v2

I only have applied the utf-support patch on my desktop machine, not in the iliad version, but if it's of any interest, here it is.

Good Luck with your hacking of the intl version ;-).

P.S.: Yokos reminded me that the included README in the dillo package is obsolete and we should stop distributing it as it may confuse new users .

Hi!

Does dillo run "out-of-the-box", or do I have to request shell access from iRex first?

I tried the "dillo-0.8.6_iliad-0.7.zip"-Version together with the lan-on/of-scripts, but it did not work (no error message; using version 2.10.2 of iLiad's OS).

You need the shell access first. Sorry.

I don't understand what do you mean for mobile browser. If you mean WAP, dillo doesn't support that. Also bear in mind that while it's a small and fast web browser, it lacks a lot of modern web technologies. In the mailing lists there is talk about supporting CSS and javascript, when (if) the new codebase is released (and as it's based in FLTK 2.x it would also bring in UTF-8 support and antialiasing). But don't bet on having it released very soon (they're still sorting some problems between difference of opinions of the main developers).

XML will not be correctly shown in current dillo (it lacks xslt support).

XHTML should work, AFAICT.

I thought WAP was a flop. Anyway, the trend right now is to have a server convert on-the-fly regular HTML content to an specialized "mobile" format, as is done with Opera mini.

If that suits you, I would consider inquiring Opera ( www.opera.com) about availability/cost of porting of Opera mini to your intended platform (the iRex iliad?)

Good luck.

Hello All greatfull coders & developers!
I'm patiently wait for usable browser for iLiad.
The most big problem for me in dillo is impossibility read web on cyrillic.
Just want ask is it possible in near future to repair dillo fonts?
But I understand that our time if you wake up and don't have at least one problem then you dead man, but I'm also amazing about fonts problem in 2008 Y.
Bests,
igor

There is an internationalized dillo version which allows one to read Cyrillic utf-8 pages. I wrote a bit about it here.
and here.
In order to convert non-unicode pages to utf-8 one can use (in Linux):

iconv -f WINDOWS-1251 -t UTF-8 file_in.html > file_out.html

Whether this can be done on the fly in dillo, I am not sure, but I guess this functionality could be added. Just needs one of the great developers to get excited about it. Which may happen or not...

The screenshot illustrates the following changes to .dillo/dillorc

font_factor=2.0

panel_size=large

Since the iLiad screen is tall, the larger panel isn't too intrusive (and much easier to use).

However, I can't get bookmarks to work. They require dpid, which I thought was there now (for local files). I am using dillo-0.8.6_iliad-0.7.

[wallcraft]

Dillo has several alternative toolbar icon sets, as seen here. I'm not sure which would look best on the iLiad, perhaps "transparent", but it would be worth trying them. Unfortunately, each requires a recompile.

The Grantham main icon is also a bit washed out on the iLiad. I attach a greyscale version of Eric's icon (possible replacement for cover.png)

Iam Greek. I want to read greek sites and forums. I downloaded the patch but....I dont know where to place it. Do i have to place it onto dillo folder or i have to do something else?
