I have an in-house app that we're using across an X11 connection. The app looks great on a minimal install of X11. However, the machine also requires a PDF reader, most of which require urw-fonts to be installed. Once urw-fonts is installed, the main application is changed (presumably to use one of the PS fonts in urw-fonts) and looks awful. I want to preserve the original font for the application, but also have a PDF reader. I'm exploring 'Zathura' with PDF support as an option (it doesn't seem to require urw-fonts), but I'm open to a smarter way to do this. Is there a way to limit urw-fonts to only the PDF reader, say evince? Or some other approach? Remove urw-fonts in system control somehow?

  • Can't you configure the in-house app to use whatever fonts it is using on the minimal install instead of urw-fonts? You didn't tell us anything about the in-house app, but all X apps I've used so far allow you to configure fonts. If it was written with one of the standard toolkits that options comes automatically. Much easier to do it this way than to fiddle around with the PDF reader.

  • @dirkt I (incorrectly) refer to it as an "in house" app because it's a custom application (vice open source) that I do not really have any insight into (I'm just trying to get the OS built to support it). I have been in contact with the developers, but in the event they don't have an answer I'm wondering if there's a system level change I can make to isolate urw-fonts from that application.

Displaying single band from multi-band raster using QGIS

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
