Hi All, I start localizing Tuxpaint into Khmer language. but when I choose Text -- type some Khmer words it shows only square box. But with English text no problem. So, I think that tuxpaint does not support Khmer unicode. Is it right? Also, see the screenshots fore more detail. Please help to make Khmer Unicode works in Tuxpaint correctly. Thanks a lot for your reply. Sokhem |

It's currently using SDL_ttf, so isn't quite as flexible as what we're usually using for the UI (button labels, dialogs, etc), which is SDL_Pango. It _may_ just be that you need a font that includes Khmer characters, and place it in Tux Paint's fonts folder. Does the UI look right when in Khmer mode? One other thing to make sure of is that the 'test' strings are 'translated' appropriately. See tuxpaint.pot for the details. Thanks, -- -bill! bi...@ne... http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/ |

I tried to copy all Khmer fonts into Tux Paint's fonts folder located in /usr/share/tuxpaint/fonts. But when I typed Khmer text, It still show only square box the same as before. Is there a way to include Khmer fonts by default? > Does the UI look right when in Khmer mode? Yes, the UI look right with Khmer. Now I am reviewing the translation, once finished I will send to you as soon as possible. Thanks, Sokhem |

Oh, also, do you think Khmer will require its own Input Method support, or will simply having a suitable font help? -- -bill! bi...@ne... http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/ |

Input is not much of a problem (well, possibily an ascii transliteration method or qwerty -> khmer would be nice for people using Windows, as I don't know if Windows ships with khmer keyboards); but the rendering requires complex text rendering as indic alphabets the requirements are more or less the same as for Hindi, etc. It's not just throwing in a suitable font. -- Ki ça vos våye bén, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.walon.org/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 |
