makeself: Make self-extractable archives on Unix

makeself is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable tar.gz archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell script (many of those have a .run suffix), and can be launched as is. The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an optional arbitrary command will be executed (for example an installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world. Makeself archives also include checksums for integrity self-validation (CRC and/or MD5 checksums).

To install it on Debian/Ubuntu:
apt-get install makeself

Here is an example, assuming the user has a package image stored in a /home/joe/mysoft, and he wants to generate a self-extracting package named mysoft.sh, which will launch the "setup" script initially stored in /home/joe/mysoft :

  • makeself /home/joe/mysoft mysoft.sh "Joe's Nice Software Package" ./setup

Ubuntu 中文字体美化方案大全 (1): 概述篇

其实,Ubuntu自带的默认UMING中文字体,已经看得过去了。如果对中文显示没有什么特殊的要求,也够用了。

不过,很多用惯了Windows或者苹果系统的Ubuntu用户还是觉得Ubuntu的字体不够舒服。的确,Ubuntu自带的免费UMING中文字体(还有免费文泉驿宋体)都不如Windows XP的SimSun宋体,或者Windows Vista的雅黑字体,或者苹果系统的黑体好看。

萝卜白菜,各有所爱。本文收集整理了使用各种字体对ubuntu中文显示进行的方案,以飨读者。包括:
  1. 使用Windows XP字体方案;
  2. 使用Windows Vista字体方案;
  3. 使用苹果字体方案;
  4. 使用免费文泉驿正黑字体方案;
  5. 使用免费文泉驿宋体;
  6. 使用免费UMING字体(Ubuntu默认)
在讨论各种方案之前,现简单分析一下Linux字体配置的一些基本知识(如你只想知其然,不想知其所以然,可以略过下面这一段,直接看具体的方案):

(1) 使用fontconfig配置Linux字体
fontconfig 是Linux用于字体配置管理的软件包。fontconfig使用XML文件存储字体配置文件。这里是其XML语法帮助文件。

(2) Ubuntu的fontconfig配置简析
Ubuntu Linux 的系统字体配置文件保存在/etc/fonts目录。/etc/fonts/conf.avail/ 子目录内保存的是所有可用的配置文件,/etc/fonts/conf.d/ 子目录内是文件链接(Symbolic Links),连接到/etc/fonts/conf.avail/ 内的文件。/etc/fonts/conf.d/的文件链接是系统正在使用的配置文件。(配置过Apache 2 的用户应该对这样的目录设置不陌生。)/etc/conf.d/内的文件(连接)名都是以数字开头,比如69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf。系统载入这些配置文件也是以这些数字为序的。比如69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf 要先于 99-language-selector-zh.conf。


(3) Ubuntu Linux 中文简体配置文件(基于7.10以后的版本,包括7.10, 8.04,和8.10。以后的版本也可能有所变化)

a. /etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf
b. /etc/fonts/conf.avail/99-language-selector-zh.conf

(4) Ubuntu Linux配置字体常用的Linux命令

a. sudo fontconfig-vodoo -s zh_CN
此命令用以设置简体中文所需的.conf文件。(把/etc/fonts/conf.avail/69-language-selector-zh-cn.conf 和 /etc/fonts/conf.avail/99-language-selector-zh.conf 链接到 /etc/fonts/conf.d/ 目录,以便XWindow系统启动时载入)。

b. sudo fc-cache -fv
在安装新字体后,需要执行此命令更新系统字体配置缓存文件,这样才能在系统中列出你新安装的字体。

好了,简单了解了上述的基础知识,下一篇,将讨论具体的优化方案。
