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.


Linux specific

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 !
