Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] [fwd] Damaged Japanese rendering [with SDL_ttf]

[Mark K. K. <tux...@cb...>]

Hmm... did you test it for Japanese yourself, too?  I just grabbed the CVS
with the TTF files I already had and it renders just fine.  Did I not do
something correctly?

On a different note, can you add $Id$ tags to the source files?  It'll
help with tracking.  Like this:

  /**************************
  * Comment blah blah..
  *
  * $Id$  <-- this will expand to CVS version with each commit/update
  */

It's a convenient CVS feature used to tell which version of the file you
have...!
