160901 - Font for Medit Support SDS Requirements Well Ordered Record
160902 -
160903 - Morris had not yet received the letter sent this morning, ref SDS 6
160904 - 4P5O, transmitting Gary's research finding a font, ref SDS 6 425H, to
160905 - solve the problem Morris presented on 081114 that software technology
160906 - has evolved away from supporting SDS requirements for a well ordered
160907 - record, ref SDS 3 PS6O, as demonstrated a few months later on 090119.
160908 - ref SDS 4 JE8O
160910 -  ..
160911 - Morris checked his mail, and found the letter transmitting Gary's
160912 - letter.
160914 -  ..
160915 - He downloaded the font.  Morris moved the font to the Microsoft
160916 - directory...
160917 -
160918 -           i: windows fonts luconp.ttf
160920 -  ..
160921 - Morris tried specifying this font in the Java code for Medit.
160923 -  ..
160924 - It seems to look closer to standard Medit.  It supports line draw
160925 - characters.  Don't know yet about support for control characters in
160926 - the standard ASCII character set.

160932 -
160933 - Follow up ref SDS 4 RL8O.
160934 -
160935 - On 090119 Morris suggested using computer software for telephone
160936 - collaboration developing Medit with Java. ref SDS 4 RL8O
160938 -  ..
160939 - We talked yesterday and he reported no progress since the meeting on
160940 - 090119, ref SDS 4 585L, partly due to illness, and he is starting a
160941 - new semester teaching graduate electrical engineering at San Jose
160942 - State.
160944 -  ..
160945 - Today we got voice communication on the system using a headset, but
160946 - this required using a Conference "Service" which has other people
160947 - listening and hearing other conversations.
160949 -  ..
160950 - This suggested requirement for adding a service.
160952 -  ..
160953 - Morris uninstalled Ekiga.
160955 -  ..
160956 - He then used the Internet to find Ekiga and downloaded another
160957 - version of the software.  It was initially stored on c: 11
160959 -  ..
160960 - He installed this.
160962 -  ..
160963 - It didn't work, so Morris removed it and installed the original
160964 - version again.
160966 -  ..
160967 - The installation still didn't work.  We could not get the echo test
160968 - to run.
160970 -  ..
160971 - Morris installed Ekiga on his Vista machine.  He thought this was
160972 - working correctly.
160974 -  ..
160975 - Stephen did a search and found a lot of complaints running Ekiga on
160976 - Windows technology.  Ekiga is written on Unix technology.  Morris
160977 - uses it with students, and has good luck.  He said today they all use
160978 - Unix.
160980 -  ..
160981 - We decided to test this at home.
160983 -  ..
160984 - Came home.

161301 - Called Morris.
161303 -  ..
161304 - Morris can call me, I cannot call him.
161306 -  ..
161307 - Typically, Realtec audio system control panel for the microphone and
161308 - headset is loaded during power up process.  C15 is not configured to
161309 - load Realtec, so it is called from the Control Panel.
161311 -  ..
161312 - The work sequence is critical to make the system work properly...
161314 -  ..
161315 - We have to set the IP address manually on c15 in order to get Ekiga to
161316 - run.  Also have to run realtek software from the Control Panel that
161317 - operates the headphone and mike.
161318 -
161319 -       Periodically, the IP address for the headset and microphone
161320 -       ports is changed automatically by the Internet service
161321 -       provider, in this case AT&T (the telephone company).
