How is OnlyOffice’s offline performance and support for Graphite smart font technology? I use Graphite fonts and no support for those is a deal-breaker.

Font Awesome is a font that uses codepoints in the “Private Use Area” for icons. (The Private Use Area is a chunk of Unicode specifically set aside for any font to put any image they want in there, instead of expecting a certain codepoint to display as a specific letter.)

To the OP: I don’t know much about this, but if you use a different app, does Arch’s Font Awesome show as the colored or B&W version? You might have to try a wide variety of apps due to competing color font standards.

Mononoke came to mind although there probably is a better one.

I’ve been using vertical tabs for a while now. It rearranges your address bar and that’s going to take some time and annoyance to sort out, but I’ve got it back to where I like it.

Vertical tabs aren’t as great as they would have been ten years ago. So many websites nowadays use a two- or three-column layout to use the excess horizontal space on a normal screen, and having the vertical tabs showing full length often compresses those. Thankfully there’s a button to switch between full-length tabs and just the favicon for those sites.

I haven’t watched them, but I’ve heard little but good about Twelve Kingdoms, Magic Knights Rayearth, and El-Hazard.

I have often had to go into about:config to revert unwanted new behavior, but never had to downgrade.

There is a possible fix!

• Go to “about:config” in the adress bar
• Search for “browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant”
• Toggle both entries for variant-a and variant-b to false

Variant-B was “true” for me.

I’ve found another bug or design issue. In vertical tab mode, a “flexible space” is forced into the toolbar to shorten the address bar and it cannot be removed. I had a longer address bar before turning vertical tabs on and it is very noticeable in a few situations.

Edit: The excess space can be suppressed by turning the title bar on. Very buggy.

Thank you!

If it matters, I’m using Windows 11.

How do you make the shortcuts on the home page larger? They suddenly shrank when I updated to 136 and that’s very annoying because I use them heavily. Even turning “recommended stories” off doesn’t fix it, but it fixes the shortcuts being tiny and the stories huge.

I’ve got it and it’s all right. I like the weather widget being more prominent.

Iosevka fits very well with East Asian characters, if you need those.

I find it narrower than I like otherwise, but I need Japanese characters often enough that I put up with it for my terminal.

I need local font support far, far more often than I need collaborative editing. Plus, call me old, but I don’t like storing everything on a server in Virginia for Google to read.

This one was a disappointment to me, because it was a test to see if it would be just as good as the original and it wasn’t.

• Pacing: needing to take up twice as much time as the '96 anime means stretching scenes out. Adding back all the scenes from the manga that were cut in the original helps, and so did making up two extra tricks for Chou to show off with that flexible blade, but the tension can’t help but suffer some.

• Music: I didn’t notice this on my first viewing, but after seeing people comment I went back and listened. Using heroic music for Kenshin’s attack with Shakkuu’s last sword instead of tense, ominous music was a major mistake. Sure, Kenshin is here to save the day, but that’s less important than whether Kenshin will save the day by losing his soul.

• Positioning: I really disliked how Kenshin ends up next to Chou after giving him the elbow and how we clearly saw Chou’s body after Kenshin struck it with Shakkuu’s last sword. While Okina was talking, Kenshin should have been able to do something if he were that close to Chou, like disarm him or beat on him some more. The old anime pushes Chou far enough away that Kenshin plausibly couldn’t get over there and do something before Chou recovered. Showing Chou’s body clearly lets us see that he doesn’t have any cuts on him of the sort that would be expected after having been slashed with a very sharp sword.

Sure, 80-90% as good as the original isn’t a disaster, but I’d convinced myself that this remake had climbed up to par with the original and it fell short when it needed to deliver.

Do you have a school computer lab you can use? If the school truly requires MS Office and gives you a copy, they will have no sympathy for not using it.

In other news, snow is cold and wet.

Rhinoshield lets you customize a case and has cases for a few popular anime series in stock.

American credit unions are not insured by the FDIC and won’t appear there. They are insured by the NCUA.

Today I’d rather play F-Zero because its controls are more responsive, but there’s more to do in Super Mario Kart.
