Problems/Troubles

Following problems are grasped by the author:

installing

Please tell me your trouble in installing Ming/Slide :)

creating slides

• Cannot find font files

Font flies are not included in Ming/Slide. You have to create or copy fonts and move it into the directory 'prefix/share/ming-slide/fonts/'. Now you may have to rewrite 'default.msd' to use your font, sorry. The default font is 'kochi-mincho.fdb'.

• Cannot find thema files

Hmm. Thema files should locate 'prefix/share/ming-slide/thema/' and system may loads thema files automatically...

• Text block or list item are displayed at strange place

Hmm, you should hack the default thema 'default.mst'...

• At Headline, (Enum|Item|Desc)List or Verbatim, if the context is long then it overflows.

  Sorry, it should be folding...

The Others

• Why needs fighting spirits?

Because the installing is too complex. It should be improved.

Any comments for Ming/Slide or Ming/Ruby are welcomed.
