Windows Mobile Update 3: Fonts

10.11.08 - 12:12pm

I found (and fixed) one of our bugs in the Windows Mobile font code.  This makes things much better



88/100, not bad





Also note that I’m running this on an actual device, using Remote Zoomin to get the screen shot.

    Are there any binary builds I would run on my device available (I dont have visual studio so I cant build it myself)

  2. Surur {Saturday October 11, 2008 @ 12:45 pm}

    Is there a binary available for download?

  3. Tomer {Saturday October 11, 2008 @ 3:55 pm}

    How does Fennec doing RTL? I remember that Minimo has no bidi support at all.

  4. dalingrin {Sunday October 12, 2008 @ 2:38 pm}

    Dying for a binary build

  5. JB {Sunday October 12, 2008 @ 6:01 pm}

    Thanks for the great tips. Can you please post the user agent string this devices reports itself as? Very curious if Mobile Firefox appears in the UA, etc.

  6. Todd Vierling {Sunday October 12, 2008 @ 10:19 pm}

    Well, someone’s going to say it eventually; might as well be me.

    Please consider building against the Windows CE 4.2 core as well; this would make it accessible to CE.NET devices (e.g. MobilePro 900c, Sigmarion) as well as PPC2003/PPC2003SE devices.

    (And yes, I’ll volunteer to help the porting effort if that’s what it takes. You can reach me via the e-mail address used for this post.)

    Any more update of Fennec on Windows Mobile? When can be expect a binary build, and will Fennec Alpha 1 support Windows Mobile?

  8. GinKage {Tuesday October 14, 2008 @ 6:10 am}

    Hi, I was trying to build Fennec from the repository, and some hours later I did (patching all those “#include “, paths misconfigurations, resource compilation for updater etc. got quite a bit of time).

    But it just won’t run. On my device Fennec fails on LoadLibraryExW for xul.dll (with error “Invalid parameter”, though it detected the path correctly), and then displays “Couldn’t load XPCOM”. What could I do wrong?

  9. Corinna {Tuesday October 14, 2008 @ 8:08 am}

    88/100 is really good. So keep at it!

  10. NiCK Carty {Tuesday October 14, 2008 @ 8:22 am}

    Great news to see some progress again. You guys had IE as a competitor on Desktop but when it comes to Windows Mobile browsing, forget IE, Opera is there! Hope you guys could compete them :)

    +1 to what Todd Vierling said: please consider building for Windows Mobile 2003 / CE 4.2 too.

    Wm2003 users have been left in the dust by recent browsers, with very few alternatives to the crappy internet explorer included, although there are wm2003 devices out there with lots of ram and a decent processor.

    So please MTV, pimp my — er, please mozilla, pimp my pocketpc :)

  12. Barry Main {Monday October 20, 2008 @ 10:22 am}

    agree 88/100 is good

  13. Daniel {Monday October 20, 2008 @ 10:46 am}

    It is nice to see that “Firefox for Mobile” is in progress. I think it is time to build and install firefox on my mobile and see how does it work.

  14. SOHBET {Saturday October 25, 2008 @ 3:21 pm}

    thank you

  15. artik {Monday October 27, 2008 @ 4:29 am}

    Great!
    I can download and install your version on my ppc?

  16. atlana {Tuesday December 9, 2008 @ 5:10 pm}

    yes, I’d like a binary too; willing to “sacrifice” my Samsung SGH-i907 Epix PDA-phone (Marvell PXA311 624 Mhz, 128 MB SDRAM, WinMobile Pro 6.1, 320×320 screen) for alpha & beta-testing.
    i can be reached at totesende[deletethisandthebrackets]2003@hotmail.com if somebody is interested. the email in the name-link is a spam-filter, ergo invalid.

    cheers

    nice

  18. HalosGhost {Tuesday January 20, 2009 @ 8:58 am}

    Hey, I noticed that on the Wikipedia page for Acid3, someone listed Fennec as having a 93/100, this isn’t their fault as they are testing it on a desktop, but could you update it so it reflects the correct score?

    Thank you,

    @HalosGhost (Sam) The 88/100 you see here is from an early port of Fennec to Window Mobile. Many things were known to be broken at the time (and several still are, we haven’t hit alpha yet on the platform).
