Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Font scoring method

[Shin-ichi T. <dol...@wm...>]

Hi!

I enabled the spare characters for font scoring, and added following
comment for "<1>spare-1a".

----------------------------------------------------------------
‪If neccessary, translate any of following strings using at least
‪two locale specific characters required to render your language.
‪Then, the scores for those fonts having such characters will increase.
‪
‪You can use two different weight for scoring, 1 or 9, according
‪to the importance.
----------------------------------------------------------------
‪
Please feel free to point out any odd or missing phrase.

Thanks.
