Still on the .deb / apt-get thing.... Yesterday at our local coding dojo I installed Racket using apt-get from Linux Mint official repo (<a href="http://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/racket">http://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/racket</a>). I got sad when I noticed that the version was 5.1.1 (same version of the one in the Ubuntu repo <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/racket">http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/racket</a>), without many of the recent improvements with direct impact on newcomers, like the keyboard shortcuts (ctrl-R x ctrl-T). I also noticed a problem I had experienced before, and that has been reported here in the list: highlight between matching parens not working (missing lib?). I believe this is fixed in newer versions... Oh, and I wish DrRacket would show on the Applications menu! I thought of installing from the repo since that could be easier for people to upgrade over time. Next week I ought to reinstall from the website download, maybe the next version 5.2.1. Unfortunatelly we had to interrupt our dojo in the middle because of a building that fell down right next to us... To the audience, that was more scaring than programming in Racket...

I know it's worked before, so I suspect I'm missing a necessary library or some other widget that lets DrRacket know where to look for the fonts. The one difference is that I've started using Kubuntu as of 11.10 because I hate Unity, so I guess that could also be an issue. <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 6:29 PM, Paul Leger <<a href="mailto:pleger@gmail.com">pleger@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > On 01/26/2012 08:05 PM, Todd O'Bryan wrote: >> >> I installed Racket from Jon Rafkind's Ubuntu PPA and the only font I >> have listed in the Preferences is "Monospace." >> >> I suspect there's probably a missing library or something that will >> give me access to all kinds of pretty fonts, but I'm not sure what it >> might be. >> >> Anybody have a suggestion to try? > > I am using Racket from the following PPA (Ubuntu 11.10): > <a href="https://launchpad.net/%7Eplt/+archive/racket" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~plt/+archive/racket</a> > > and I can use several fonts. > > -- > Saludos, Paul Leger. > > ____________________ > Racket Users list: > <a href="http://lists.racket-lang.org/users" target="_blank">http://lists.racket-lang.org/users</a> ____________________ Racket Users list: <a href="http://lists.racket-lang.org/users" target="_blank">http://lists.racket-lang.org/users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
