[jsword-devel] Re: Font as applet resource?

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Patrick,
	I haven't done applet stuff in a really long time.  I'll see if our 
jsword-devel group has anyone willing to look into this one.

jsword-devel,
	Hey guys.  Is there anyone that might be able to get our jsword-old 
ModEdit application working as an applet.  I really don't know the steps 
involved these days to get it to work in the security model of a 
browser.  Here are the steps to get, compile, and run the mentioned app:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.crosswire.org:/cvs/core
cvs login
password: anonymous
cvs co jsword-old
cd jsword-old
./configure
make
cd apps/ModEdit
make
java -jar ModEdit.jar

After getting it working, as-is,  I think Patrick would like the font 
included in the .jar file for the applet, and accessed from there 
instead of the URL loading that you will notice when you try the 
application.

After getting THAT working, maybe someone might be able to provide 
another of our custom input methods-- in addition to the 2 that are 
included in the current app.  That works with the mapping mentioned in 
the quoted email below.  It may be close to one that we already have and 
only a few keystrokes might need to be added;  I haven't looked at the 
mapping yet.

Here are the files metioned in the email below:

	Thanks for considering this project,
		-Troy.
