Softmaker freeoffice portable6/3/2023 One more thing: To make it really "portable" you might also have to take care of the /etc/SoftMaker directory which is created even when a portable.txt file is present. In my case what masquerades as "Basic Roman" is in fact "Nimbus Sans L". Pretty embarrassing behavior of a word processor. What is disturbing though is that Textmaker opens the document with a default font "Basic Roman", which of course is bogus as this font is not installed, just like the other SoftMaker fonts in the dropdown list like "Calibri" and "Cambria". Using only Puppy's default fonts and none of the app's own fonts (barebone = no fonts directory !) it looks acceptable to me (see screenshot). I don't know what "extremely hard to read" means to you. I know that Western Latin text, running in 'barebones' format like this, renders as a very washed-out, pale grey Basic Roman aning that the app's own fonts - Menu bar/ribbon,other stuff - are (for me at least) extremely hard to read! Hope some of you may find it useful, and appreciate it. Just a basic, self-contained 'portable' click to open, then fire it up from there. I haven't bothered with the MenuAdd scripts this time, and the 'config' directory for the usual sym-linking trick isn't required on this occasion. If anybody's interested, you'll find them here:-īoth arches are available. Not exactly 'tiny', no.but still a decently small size, I feel. The tarball for this is around 22 MB unpacked, around 36 MB. I am still very much aware that plenty of you are using far older, less-powerful hardware.and, moreover, that some of you do actually like to keep everything as tiny as you possibly can. Yeah, I know this rig is NOT really a Puppy box at all any longer, and many of my recent Puppy-portable 'offerings' HAVE been somewhat on the large side. In my opinion, you can't really go much more 'bare-bones' than that, and still retain proper appearance and full functionality. (Vid recorded entirely with Will McEwan's "WeX-portable" neat, huh? 'Specially that webcam feed. I'll demonstrate below what's in there, and why I think it should be left in. So I've done some experimenting, and have put together a stripped-back, English-only, 'micro' TextMaker-portable. (Personally, I run TextMaker in 'dark' mode, but even in the other two, it's still a very pale grey text.which is far from ideal.) However, he uses Japanese fonts, and I have no idea how those render. I've experimented with this, and, while it DOES work, there's a few things about it I'm not too happy with.and a few things I believe should be left in. reveals that Mochi apparently runs what he calls a 'nanobarebones' version of TextMaker, using just three files. Further discussion over on the other thread:.
