Dan Morgan :ksu:I recently stumbled upon the .yaff bitmap font file format. Every tool I researched is 404 or pretty iffy-looking if found at all. I want to eventually convert these .yaff files to woff/woff2 through any series of steps. If that requires yaff to bdf to ttf to woff I’ll do it if I can find the tools and workflow. Hell, I’ll do it by hand if I have to at this point. Anyone done this on the last decade? <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unix</a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/marchintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marchintosh</a>

Karl Baron<a href="https://social.europlus.zone/@europlus" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@europlus</a> I’m thinking a fun <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a> project for next year could be to set up a basic Mac app with a window or two, make a tutorial on setting up CodeWarrior and some basic Toolbox coding (make a button show a dialog), and then open up a code base for anyone to make check in changes to to make a collaborative app over <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/GlobalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GlobalTalk</a>

dan 💾My laser printer kept disconnecting from the network all through <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a>. But I've now got it plumbed directly in to the server (using the handy USB-over-cat5 thingamahoos) and it seems much happier. Poked around with papd a bit and it's set up with a nice little spool now that will collect AppleTalk print jobs when it's off and then release them when it's back on. Hopefully. Ideally. It seems to work for me, at least. <a href="https://bitbang.social/tags/LiveLaughLocalTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LiveLaughLocalTalk</a> 🖨️

Jon SchwennIn Sequoia, go to System Settings > Screen Saver and select Macintosh, select a good color, and enable set as background. I don’t recall this coming up in <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/MARCHintosh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MARCHintosh</a>. I’m not sure when this was added and I’m surprised it took me so long to hear about it.

Now <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/umac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#umac</a> can not only mount 2 disc images at a time, but it can cycle the image on the "external" drive. Here I've booted a System 7 disc with hypercard from the "internal", and then cycled Glider and Dark Castle images in the external one.
