Full Discussion: Suggest update of two commands - who to write to?
Operating Systems Linux Suggest update of two commands - who to write to? Post 302388565 by SilversleevesX on Wednesday 20th of January 2010 08:50:42 PM

Suggest update of two commands - who to write to?
I think it's about time the df and du commands (executables?) were updated to display gigabyte units without one having to do their own calculations from the -m option (display in megabytes). This is one of those "little nothing" annoyances that, at the same time, would positively show new Linux/Unix users that, from pillar to post, stem to stern, sub-basement to penthouse and at all points in-between, open-source solutions keep up to date with the times.

So to whom does one make such a suggestion?

xmsetfontunits

XmSetFontUnits(3X)														XmSetFontUnits(3X)

NAME

       XmSetFontUnits - A function that sets the font unit value for a display

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

       void XmSetFontUnits (display, h_value, v_value)
	       Display * display;
	       int h_value;
	       int v_value;

DESCRIPTION

       XmSetFontUnits  provides an external function to initialize font unit values.  Applications may want to specify resolution-independent data
       based on a global font size.  This function must be called before any widgets  with  resolution-independent  data  are  created.   See  the
       XmNunitType  resource  description in the manual pages for XmGadget(3X), XmManager(3X), and XmPrimitive(3X) for more information on resolu-
       tion independence.

       This function sets the font units for all screens on the display. XmSetFontUnits is obsolete and exists	for  compatibility  with  previous
       releases.  Instead  of using this function, provide initial values or call XtSetValues for the XmScreen resources XmNhorizontalFontUnit and
       XmNverticalFontUnit.  Defines the display for which this font unit value is to be applied.  Specifies the value to be used  for	horizontal
       units in the conversion calculations.  Specifies the value to be used for vertical units in the conversion calculations.
