[stack] Re: Can't View Factor Talk Slides on Vista

Hi John,

Just to let you know, Factor has a direct mailing list if you'd like a faster response.  Please take a look at the link below:

http://concatenative.org/wiki/view/Factor/Mailing%20list

Also, this is a known issue since Factor switched over to Uniscribe font rendering on Windows.

One thing you could do is download a Ubuntu Live CD and VMware Player or VirtualBox (which are both free), boot the Live CD, download the Factor binaries and load the slides.  Yes, I realize this is kind of an extreme workaround. ;-)

If you want to look at the slides of Slava's recent talk at DLS, you might need to download the current clean build which is listed below the v0.94 links on factorcode.org.

Here's a recent link talking about the slides vocab: http://re-factor.blogspot.com/2010/10/presentations-in-factor.html 

Please post to the Factor mailing list to remind the devs that this is an issue affecting newcomers!

Thanks,

-Adam
