Re: Dual boot Windows 8.1/KolibriOS?

I tried the utility on my 16gb Cruzer flashdrive, but it doesn't boot. If the kinst.exe application showed the success message, then your flashdrive became a Kolibri boot drive. Now you need to instruct your PC to boot from your flashdrive (in legacy bios mode) when your pc starts up. If you search...

Some brands (like my HP650 laptop) let you choose between UEFI or legacy bios.
Other brands (like my new Packard Bell) only sypport UEFI.

Re: Dual boot Windows 8.1/KolibriOS?

If you can set the bios of your PC to boot from a USB flash drive, then you can preview the progress of KolibriOS without affecting your own operating system. Download ftp://kolibrios.org/users/seppe/kinst.exe to a USB flash drive, and run it from there with administrator rights. The application ins...

Re: unicode rasterfont files

These fontsizes represent the em-height in pixels. I developed a font-compiler on win7 to...

Re: unicode rasterfont files

What about licensing issues? Neither Arial nor Consolas are free fonts. Yes, you have a point. But what other font(s) shall I use for extraction? :? There are many fonts on the net, but i need a crispy font (or set) for small font-sizes with sufficient unicodes (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic). I assume th...

Unicode on Kolibri is born : To get started, I produced (on my win7 pc) 2 unicode raster font files : Arial regular and Consolas. Both files have the data for 2211 glyphs, for the fontsizes 7,8,10,12, and 14, and take 460Kb each. For now, I left out the Hebrew and Arabic glyphs. (I do not intent to...

Re: NumLock on at startup

It looks like two letters are displayed in the lower panel that correspond to the chosen keyboard. That is "En, Fi, Ge, Ru, Fr, Et". The letters for Belgium and Italy are junk. The case of the first letter reflects the caps-lock keyboard status (except for Italy). In view of the many new k...
