Inappropriate?I think someone may have mentioned this before. It has to do with the embedded font I'm using. I don't know if it has all the character sets. It may make sense to make an "international" version of the app, which would not embed font and would instead render with the user's system default font. It wouldn't look pretty, but it would show the characters.
-
Inappropriate?I'm not sure what happens on Windows/Linux, but at least for Mac, using the system default font would give you the best results. I'm ignorant about Flash, so I don't know what good in rendering does it adds to include fonts in the app package. -
Inappropriate?Non-embedded fonts are not an issue at all on the Mac because it antialiases all fonts by default. Where you really run into trouble is Windows and Linux. The default system fonts on most Windows and Linux machines is Times. It's ugly as sin.
-
Inappropriate?How then do other AIR apps solve this problem? As far as I remember the Pownce apps both had international characters in them which were rendered just fine (I might be wrong, though). Are there no all-encompassing free fonts that You could implement? Just asking because I AM using Windows and a pixelated Times New Roman font would indeed look quite awful. Although I think Vista has new fonts and does smoothen basically everything. Well, we'll see, thanks for looking into the problem! -
Inappropriate?Other apps use other fonts. I don't know that the font I'm using know doesn't support other character sets; I haven't checked yet. This will be my number one priority after the next build (0.2.7) is released.

Inappropriate?Ah, wonderful! First time I was actually able to reply to some postings thanks to the working umlauts!
What I would still like to see is a bigger reply window at the bottom. The font size is ok for me, the smaller it is, the more text I can see at once, but I at least happen to write rather long paragraphs, so after a while I have no overview of what I have written anymore and have to scroll. A lot!
I don't know if it would make sense to turn this into an option, but I sure would prefer a bigger reply text window which can display more lines at once. I think I've read somewhere that You are already planning an overhaul of the reply window layout, though, right? Will this fix the issue of sent replies not automatically appearing in the reply window as well?
Finally - a classical Pownce app problem as well - paragraphs are not converted and everything is being sent as one big blob of a single paragraph.
Apart from that, everything seems to be working fine. Which is way more awesome than that sentence might suggest! :-)
So - great work, I think despite the still remaining problems I will now start using the app as my #1 way of checking Rejaw. Thanks so much! -
Inappropriate?Just realized that JawJack is still using incredible amounts of RAM on my Vista 32bit system, currently 172MB, that's almost as much as Firefox 3 with multiple tabs open. I guess some optimization might be needed here as well.
-
Inappropriate?JawJack is a memory hog right now, which is why I would not recommend using it as a primary means of accessing the service until I can optimize it. I'm glad it's at least useable, however. I'll look into making the shout text area larger.
-
Inappropriate?Alright, even though I have 4GB of RAM I guess I'll stick with the website then for a few more weeks. It's coming along rather nicely, though, I'm sure You'll get there! Thanks for looking into the text area issue!
BTW - when I asked the Rejaw developers last year about the release of a Windows desktop client, they said they were going to publish one early this year. Was that You and Your work they were talking about, or is there another, 'official' app in the making, that You would know of? Just wondering...
