Against the licensing agreement. I'd suggestion you move to another font. I did some digging and can't find any documentation to the contrary. Sorry.
Licensing Microsoft Fonts
Q. What can I do with the fonts supplied with Microsoft products?
A. The fonts are governed by the same restrictions as the products they are supplied with. You are not allowed to copy, redistribute or reverse engineer the font files. For full details see the license agreement supplied with the product.

Will the play store icon made by Image Asset in Android Studio cause "Hi-res icon" error?

I use Image Asset in Android Studio to generate the Google Play store icon, you can see Image A.
It's 512 x 512, 32-bit PNG.
But Google Play reject it, the following information is displayed
We found an issue in the following area(s): Hi-res icon
Are there some bugs with Image Asset to generate the Google Play store icon?
Image A
Reject Details
Your app is rejected due to the policy here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9888374
Most likely this is the policy that it breaks:
App titles and icons that are so similar to those of existing products or services that users may be misled
Google is probably worried that the icon is just an microphone icon, which is used in other places in the Android system, and may therefore mislead users that the app is related to Android or Google.
Therefore, I suggest modifying your icon to differentiate it and make it unique, and then they should accept it.

How to use custom fonts on Azure Websites

How to either:
Install a custom font onto the Azure Websites instance (if it doesn't exist).
Inject the PrivateFontCollection into the active PrintDocument settings to override fonts utilized.
Situational Specifics:
The goal is to render the custom font OCR-A-Extended using Telerik reporting. Telerik's default statement is that the fonts must be installed on the system because that's what MS requires. Pre-generation, access to PrivateFontCollection does not appear available. The final assumption is that installation of a custom font is required.
Notes:
Direct access like "How can I install custom fonts on Windows Azure?" are not available as the GDI+ is being accessed via 3rd party dll.
Usage is a background process and not subject to CSS font loading since nothing is provided to the user, thus no dependencies on the user's system fonts.

Google earth plugin alternatives for Linux

I want to show a Google Earth like globe on my website, where people can rotate it and zoom it like normal Google Earth. I want to show signed up users on my website on this glob but the problem I am facing is that Google Earth plug in is not available for Linux , what other options do I have? thanks in advance for all your help.
I'm not sure what you mean by "other options". As you correctly state the plug-in doesn't work on Linux so there isn't any other option as far as that goes.
At Google I/O back in May 2008 it was announced that the plug-in would be available for both Mac and Linux by August that year - however only the Mac version ever surfaced.
The last I heard on this was in 2011 on the feature request page for the plug-in.
"...please note that we do believe that we can support Linux in the
future, and furthermore, we intend to support it. However currently we
do not have any timeline to announce for such a release."
See: https://code.google.com/p/earth-api-samples/issues/detail?id=117
If you 'star' the request you should be notified of any updates, but as you can see it doesn't look to be something that is going to happen in any kind of hurry...
EDIT:
As for other, non-Google, alternatives you should take a look at WebGL Earth - it is still BETA but works on linux and is open source

Access system icons with NodeJS

I'm developing a HTML5 app with node-webkit.
I want my application to follow the icon theme of the host computer that runs it (primarly Linux hosts).
Frameworks such as GTK+ or QT successfully find the corresponding icon of a standard stock (such as NEW_FILE) based on the user's theme.
GTK icons theme are installed at $HOME/.icons or /usr/share/icons and icons theme share a common directory structure.
But is it any rule or algorithm to get an exact icon?
How can I look up a (NEW_FILE, SAVE_FILE or whatever) stock icon within the users theme?
I'm quite lost with this.
You could look in the source code for GTK+ or QT and see how they determine the right icons?

Is IE9 standards mode officially supported by MS with Sharepoint 2010?

The link here says IE9 is "supported"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263526(v=office.14).aspx
Now, does that mean standards mode or just IE8 mode?
Background:
We want to deploy IE9 to get canvas support whilst not breaking anything in Sharepoint. A quick google search brings up a number of issues such as drag/drop webparts in edit mode and people picker There are fixes, but they don't appear to be MS supported. I was wondering if anyone contacted their support directly to get an official stance from them.
From experience, I can say no. We have had significant issues when trying to use, in particular, calendar controls. They do not render correctly in IE9 Standards mode but render perfectly in IE8 Standards.
Microsoft being incompatible with Microsoft! How (predictably) strange.
I use a DOCTYPE (HTML5) for my masterpage (Sharepoint 2010) and I found that IE8, IE9 and IE10 in Standard Mode could have some bad behaviors with several features that don't work anymore like the Gantt View, or editing a form when there is a "multiple line of text" field, and other stuff.
I spent several days doing reverse engineering to find the issues from the JavaScript wrote by Microsoft.
I shared the results on my blog : http://blog.kodono.info/wordpress/2013/03/20/sharepoint-2010-and-ie-in-standard-mode-issues-with-ie9ie10/ and http://blog.kodono.info/wordpress/2012/11/08/webpart-doesnt-work-with-ie8-in-standard-mode-under-sharepoint-2010/
We use Sharepoint 2010 for only 1 month so I'm pretty sure I'll find some other features that don't work in the future....
