General
Q: ?
A: .
Win32 specific
Q: If anyone is getting one of these:
- ** WARNING **: Couldn't load font "MS Sans Serif 8" falling back to "Sans 8"
- ** ERROR **: file shape.c line 75: assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0) or any other warning or error
message regarding fonts/glyphs
A: the fix is to open your C:\Program Files\Shared Files\Gtk\2.0\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc and to add
this:
style "user-font"
{
font_name="Arial"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
This forces GTK+ to use a compatible font (Arial) and reportedly fixes both the aforementioned problems,
and probably others too...
Q: When I try to run the program, an error message appears on the screen saying it could not locate a dll file or that entry point is missing.
A: Be sure you installed the right GTK+ libaries. If unsure, uninstall them. Next, install TiLP again and request to download library when installer
prompt it.

Q:

Hi,
I'm using tilp2-1.00 on gentoo linux.
xeelvr / # tilp2
ticables-INFO: Check for parport usability:
ticables-INFO: node /dev/parport0: exists
ticables-INFO: permissions/user/group: -rw-rw---- root root
ticables-INFO: is user can r/w on device: yes
ticables-INFO: is useable: no
tilp-INFO: Msg: illegal operation or argument.
Cause: the program which uses this library is buggy. Fire-up the
developer!
System: Ioctl() inappropré pour un périphérique
(errno = 25)
tilp-INFO: tilp_device_err catched error 51
Have you any idea?

A: check that your kernel has support for parport and ppdev (your linux kernel .config file must contains at least:
CONFIG_PARPORT=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
CONFIG_PPDEV=y
That's all !
