Sample repository with random stuff.

Index

• (Not present in this repository) Font test pages with game dialogues. It uses the lang HTML attribute to repeat the text over and over again for each language; there is no regard to the Accept-Language HTTP request header. Only paragraphs for languages with Latin, Greek and Cyrillic script are included (see the list of languages in the zipped archive itself). See the comments for each paragraph in the font-specific HTML pages to determine what game uses the dialogue and who wrote or translated the text in each language (either credited or uncredited in-game). NB! Swearing is everywhere in the font-specific pages so readers should be 12 or older.
• names.csv: Contributor names to add to the Mozilla credits list. "We know there are many Mozillians, past and present, who do not have Mozilla Bugzilla or Pontoon profiles. This includes legacy contributors and translators who have not updated their email address on Mozilla Bugzilla and Pontoon." (Source: Monument page in the Mozilla Wiki) The list is sorted by Unicode codepoint.
• SitePal Forum Drug Words.htm: Shows a list of medicine brand names excluding song artists used to spam the old SitePal forum. Fun fact: This page is based on the Mozilla credits list.
• (Not present in this repository) Uninstall Character Map (Windows command line script). Character Map is a core component of Windows 2000 and Vista and higher and cannot be removed with Add/Remove Windows Components on Windows 2000 or Optional Features on Windows Vista and higher. Use this script to get rid of the program (remove the rem parts if you're running Windows 2000). CMD files are presented with a virus scan warning before using the direct Google Drive download links.

Data Files and Registry Keys in Software

• FontCreator Data Files and Registry Keys.md: Contains the data files, fun facts, registry keys and RC data (including unused content) for FontCreator (pay shareware font editor).
• PurgeIE Data Files and Registry Keys.md: Contains the data files, fun facts and RC data (including unused content) for PurgeIE (pay shareware utility to remove Internet Explorer browsing data such as history).

Fonts

Created with CrystalTile2 and edited with old versions of FontCreator. All except LTROL Font and ZOE TFOM are released under the terms of the WTFPL license (see the license agreement field in the fonts). All fonts have only a regular type style, so don't apply bold or italic attributes, otherwise the OS will synthesise styles, which will bloat PDF files.

• Cyrano Text (named after Cyrano de Bergerac): Based on Cyrano Nouveau (2009) by Tim Mott (MrMoto) with revised glyphs and support for more glyphs.
• Generic Menu: Adapted and converted from the GBA/DS versions of WarioWare (small font). Thanks to Jackster from The Spriters Resource for ripping the font.
• LTROL Font: Adapted and converted from the US version of Lufia: The Ruins of Lore.
• (Not present in this repository) Uninstall MS Shell Dlg (Windows command line script). Use this script to uninstall Microsoft Sans Serif (linked to MS Shell Dlg) and Tahoma (linked to MS Shell Dlg 2) on Windows 2000 and XP if Windows File Protection is disabled or Windows Vista & above. The script takes ownership of both fonts, modifies the permission list entries and deletes the font files as well. The font files are copyrighted by Microsoft. CMD files are presented with a virus scan warning before using the direct Google Drive download links.
• (Not present in this repository) ReactOS Font Hack (Windows registry entries). Apply this hack only to ReactOS if the Pan-European Supplementary Fonts from Windows 10 and 11 are installed. It modifies the FontSubstitutes to change existing or add new string values.
• Readable Fonts: Based on the System VIO font from OS/2 with revised glyphs and support for more glyphs. The fonts were created in late 2014 under the .f14 and .f16 extensions and most characters were placed in a Unicode TrueType font from the Ultimate Oldschool PC Font Pack by VileR derived from the IBM VGA 8×14 and 8×16 PxPlus fonts.
• (Not present in this repository) SuperTux fonts in ROT-13. The image-based fonts are based on handwriting - it only affects languages with Latin script available in-game. Thanks to Norman L. De Forest (1942-2006) for converting his old ANSICHRW font.
• ZOE TFOM: Adapted and converted from the US/EU versions of Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars (Kanji letters omitted). The original font characters in the game's ROM uses a horizontal flip to reverse two rows.

Index of protest pages (requires JavaScript)

Thanks to Norman L. De Forest (1942-2006) for creating the original protest pages based on his profile page and the protest images for graphical browsers.

• Web page not available (Android) – The link in the paragraph refers to a page in the @Macarlo, Inc website (the domain was expired on July 1st, 2013).
• Cannot find server (Internet Explorer 6 – Windows XP Service Pack 3) – Fun fact: Many Internet Explorer versions use different text strings for some steps in the original page. The original page is available as an HTML resource in shdoclc.dll (Windows 98 & above), xpsp2res.dll (Windows XP Service Pack 2) and xpsp3res.dll (Windows XP Service Pack 3).
• Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage (Internet Explorer 7-10 – Windows XP SP2 & above) – In this page is a button labeled Diagnose Connection Problems (pressing when accessed as res://shdocvw.dll/dnserror.htm or res://shdocvw.dll/dnserrordiagoff.htm opens the network diagnostic tool if it is installed and present).
• This page can't be displayed (Internet Explorer 11) – The domain in the paragraph refers to a page in the @Macarlo, Inc website (the domain was expired on July 1st, 2013). In this page is a button labeled Fix connection problems (pressing when accessed as res://ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm or res://ieframe.dll/dnserrordiagoff.htm opens the network diagnostic tool if it is installed and enables the option from the Tools menu).
• Page Load Error (Firefox and other Mozilla browsers) – The Address Not Found text is taken from Splashtop Browser.
• Error (Otter Browser) – The same text is used in the Presto version of Opera.

The protest pages are as follows:

• protest.htm replaces HTML link tags with LINK in square brackets.
• protest2.htm replaces everything with IMAGE and INLINE in square brackets.
• protest3.htm protests against sites that use JavaScript URLs.
• protest4.htm protests against sites that use HTML external links so the links do nothing when selected.
• protest5.htm redirects to an "Unsupported Browser" page (see the page itself in the zipped archive for a partial list - the sites are listed in alphabetical order).

Note that the network diagnostic tool is only included in Windows XP Service Pack 2 and above.

Sobreclick is a simple auto-clicking tool. Sobreclick is said to work with Windows XP & above. No options to change the language to German or Polish is included in the program's menu.

The program was developed by Mateo "elstef41" Capote under the terms of the Apache License but the precompiled executable, documentation and source code comments/identifiers in the repository is in Spanish. This translation is for Sobreclick 0.9.0. I created this with Microsoft Bing Translator.
