good thing: i just downloaded the font, extracted it with 7zip and copied otf files in fonts folder, reactos immediately got it

this is the folder i downloaded and used

Hyperbased in Hyperspace: and it does display everything as its supposed to?

as you can see from the videos, partially yes

sometimes it got crazy and reverted to other fonts

on reboot it saves the font, but it still does the same strange things

It's known bug. After heavy operations involving Win32k, ReactOS could near-freeze and fonts could turn into bold.

@Mark_Jansen maybe could tell more.

well, considering you know this bug, I'd say you can tell more?

I don't know this bug

i know that reactos allows me to choose my font, while damn windows 10 doesn't. ok, i am quite decent at reading so i don't have a strong need for dyslexic friendly fonts, but i still am dyslexic and they still help me.

well, considering you know this bug, I'd say you can tell more?

IIRC this is caused from font caching or something.

George knows that, too.

i also read a question and official answer by some ms people about this, that made me quite mad tbh.

George knows that, too.

And is there a ticket for that? Or does he / you plan on fixing it without ticket

No ticket I know of, or no plans of I have heard.

windows 95 was lightweight alright. it could only store 2GB (later 4GB) files while professional editions at the time could store 256TB. reactos doesnt have a 4GB filesize limitation does it?

Depends on the file system, I guess

ofc fat32 limits may apply

ew... ive seen some people complain that they could no longer install windows on fat32 and had to use ntfs. how could they love such absurd limitations.

fat32 is a downgrade. ntfs was released in 1993 but fat32 was released in 1996. in 1998 apples macos hfs filesystem started using 64 bit addressing but fat didnt do that until 2006 plus exfat was very very slowly adopted.

If I say that Windows 9x is a DOS program, this coul'd be an absurd?

Maybe DOS can't support NTFS, at least in 1990s

The reason? I don't know.

If I say that Windows 9x is a DOS program, this coul'd be an absurd?

Windows 9x is not a DOS program

Windows 9x is not a DOS program

But DOS don't startup Windows 9x?

it's an operating system running on top of DOS

or rather booted from it

Oh, ok.

Operating system is not a program?

operating system is operating system

i just dont understand the love behind windows 9x when the professional nt editions were so much better

Operating system is not a program?

virtual machine users: 😡

Maybe Windows 9x was better support for DOS programs and is more lighweight. In 90s context, this can make sense.

DOS is an eternal apocalyptic knight.

from what ive heard 2000 is miles better than me

from what ive heard 2000 is miles better than me

Windows Me was not supposed to exist.

Windows Me was not supposed to exist.

CeMeNT is not possible without Windows Me

CeMeNT is not possible without Windows Me

I think first WinNT was launched in 93.

Windows Me was not supposed to exist.

yes. microsoft originally wanted 2000 to be the first nt home edition.

I think first WinNT was launched in 93.

yes. but home users had to wait 8 years because microsoft was greedy.

also xp shouldve been called millenium edition since 2001 was the beginning of the new millenium and choosing millenium edition as the name contradicts the name of the family it was part of known as 9x

I can say that Windows 9x was the greatest gambiarra in the history of computing.

Sorry, gambiarra is a word that only exist in portuguese.

gambia sounds like a country. it is actually...

NT was not for consumers, the fuck are you even talking about

The "gambiarra" term means that it is an alternative solution to a problem. An example of "gambiarra" is fixing a Beetle engine with wire.

NT was not for consumers, the fuck are you even talking about

filesize limitations for example

This mirror in this car is another example of "gambiarra"

I can say that Windows 9x was the greatest gambiarra in the history of computing.

i agree. its overrated and people were tricked to buy an inferior product by greed.

Then, this is what i want to say, when i say that Windows 9x is gambiarra.

Operating system is not a program?

It kind of is, but it's a program that runs independently of anything else. (Really, the kernel of an OS is a special program and the rest of the OS consists of other programs and libraries to provide services)

Windows NT had unreasonably high system requirements in the 1990s so the original Windows line of OSes was continued with 95, 98, Me. They had two benefits: lower hardware requirements and better DOS compatibility.

DOS served as a bootloader but Windows 9x was a full OS.

DOS could even serve as the bootloader to Linux with linload ;)

Undestood.

Maybe Windows 9x was better support for DOS programs and is more lighweight. In 90s context, this can make sense.

Try OS/2 (and eComStation and ArcaOS and...)

(But not that much lightweight)

eComStation was nice when i tried it on my xp laptop

eComStation was nice when i tried it on my xp laptop

I feel the same way. I think I tried the 2.0 GA or one of the demo (beta) images

I got sent a dvd from a friend

That is nice 🙂

Someone uses Arca OS today?

ill try it out

Yeah

(I don't)

Having fun

you're insane

does it actually work?

you're insane

Spanish ReactOS Community can be insane from time to time

reactos is becoming the new OS to develop your arduino stuff on, windows can throw the towel on that!

id like to switch to reactos and look at windows in the rear view mirror

do it
