Hi song, I can confirm that the problem is fixed on Windows using SDL_ttf-2.0.8 and freetype-2.2.1, regards, John. > > Best regards, > song. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "John Popplewell" <jo...@jo...> > To: "Discussion list for Tux Paint developers" > <tux...@li...> > Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2006 11:28 PM > Subject: Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Chinese fonts > > > > On Sat, Oct 14, 2006 at 04:12:19PM +0100, John Popplewell wrote: > > > > <snip!> > > > > I appreciate this.

I've got it! It must be the subsetting procedure. Please fetch: ftp://cle.linux.org.tw/pub/fonts/wangfonts/wp010-05.ttf Then symlink zh_tw.ttf to it. The one-row-of-pixels problem is gone! Maybe we just need to alter our subsetting procedure to extract the font in such a way that SDL_ttf can accurately determine the height. Perhaps it does this by measuring one special character, a character which the subsetting procedure has omitted? Ben |

An alternative is ttf-arphic-ukai. I don't read Chinese, though. My daughter, however, reads a little, and we agree uming is easier to see because the script is plainer. I'll need someone who can actually read this stuff to try it out and see if it all looks OK, and then let me know. Ben |

I *remember* the discussion I had with the Wesnoth developers about this now! It is a problem that was discovered at least a couple of years ago. I had a nagging suspicion I already knew what was wrong, but couldn't put my finger on why or where I knew of this.
