Yeah - that's what confused me :-S

But don't you think the print process will break in that case ?

Problem is that the mockups/illustrator stuff are not in Turkish.

Fonts will probably be messed up in that case.

Thanks,

Hi all,
I uploaded a new remix to include the new icon representing a connected
access point - thank you Walter Bender for capturing those.

I uploaded a .tar.gz to this trac ticket:
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8743.

If someone could double-check the CSS file to make sure it's the correct
one
(I used the one from http://dev.laptop.org/~bjordan/manual/style.css)
and
check it in to the correct location, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Anne

Can you tell them that's a silly request? A screenshot, by definition,  
is limited to the screen resolution.

If it's too hard to educate their art department, just make a  
screenshot and adjust the dpi in PhotoShop to 300. They won't notice.

Or do what OLPC's PR does, fake the screenshots in illustrator. Eben  
certainly has a lot of them lying around.

If you *really* wanted to get fancy, run Sugar inside a VNC server of  
say 12000x9000 pixels at 2000 dpi. Sugar is designed to be scalable to  
all resolutions so in theory this should work. In practice you'll find  
there are some things that are not really scaled.

One additional note about the remix I just updated is that I did not run
the
script described here: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8724 to remove a
href
from external links. Could someone run that to remove external links and
double-check the CSS for the latest content?

Thanks,
Anne
