Pidgin: Gaim 2.0b5 crashes when receiving animated emoticons

Submitted by DaveyNL on November 24, 2006 - 7:13am

Hi,

My Gaim 2.0b5 crashes when receiving animated emoticons over MSN. (what are these iritating things called anyway)

I am now using a fresh install with default options. If I try to disable them Gaim still crashes as I think it just stops the display not receiving them.

I disable them thru:
Tools > Preferences > Conversations > unmark first 4

Is there a way to safe/send debug info on windows?

Very irritating but I still like Gaim.

Pidgin: Gaim 2.0beta5 Error on WinMe

Submitted by guillerx on November 22, 2006 - 7:56am

Yesterday I install the Portable Suite Standard Edition on a 512mb usb drive, all the applications works properly on WinXP (the pc that I have at home), but when I try to run GaimPortable2.0beta5 on a PC with WinMe (my pc at work) I get two Error messages, the first one said "Pango-ERROR **. Unable to create Win32 cairo scaled font. This means out of memory or a cairo/fontconfig/FreeType bug aborting...", the other one said "Runtime Error! Program: G:\PortableApps\GaimPortable\App\Gaim\Gaim.exe abnormal program termination", does any one know how to fix this situation?

Miranda: Smilies

Submitted by jessejazza on November 10, 2006 - 6:21pm

I used Miranda for a while in basic form about a year ago; liked it but then tried to install some plugins . . . and made a mess of things!!!

I'd like to try installing some smilies but put-off again by the vast number available which is rather daunting to the novice.

I was wondering if someone could guide me for a set of simple smilies abit like the Gaim has.

thanks
