Windows Mobile Update: Freetype

I’ve implemented a freetype font back end for Windows and Windows CE that we’ll be using for Fennec.  This will allow Fennec to render international fonts we were previously incapable of handling. There’s still plenty of work to do, but I can’t wait until we can benefit from Madhava’s upcoming small screen UI Also, for [...]

Windows Mobile Update 3: Fonts

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.

Windows Mobile Update 2

Just to update Doug’s post we’ve got the problem with web content not painting fixed. Still have problems with fonts though.

Windows Mobile Progress Update

Windows…. we got windows! Its reasonably fast on the device too (just harder to get a screen shot). Some obvious font issues though. Stuart, tag… you’re it.

He recently presented his work at the linux plumbers conference.  Essentially this is an gumstix device with an e-paper display. The device he showed me had to be controled remotely with a mouse.  In his bag he had a new [...]

Camera input tag

Earlier this month I spent some time working on exposing camera functionality to content in fennec and firefox. First, I built upon Chris Double’s implementation of a GStreamer back end for the video tag and extended it to support a “camera://” protocol. When the video tag encounters this, it creates a GStreamer pipeline starting from [...]

So, I’m sure I’m not the first to say….. huh?
