This was we internally only deal with fc names and properties. It will incur a small performance hit as the font needs to be parsed/unparsed, but this is only for backward-compatibility to support old xlfd names. People are encouraged to swtich to fontconfig names. - WINGs no longer adds sans as a fallback for internal fonts. It is automatically done by fontconfig (if it can't find the requested font it will use the closest match which is the default font: sans-serif) - Added code to honor the AntialiasesText global option - Fixed style names for WMCopyFontWithStyle() - Added fonts in style files where they were missing. Also changed some fonts to better defaults.

If I18N support does not work for you, check these:
|
|
|
|
- the LANG environment variable is set to your locale, and
|
|
the locale is supported by your OS's locale or X's locale
|
|
emulation. you can display all supported locales by
|
|
executing "locale -a" command if it available. and you
|
|
can check if your locale is supported by X's locale emulation.
|
|
See "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias"
|
|
|
|
- Check if you're using appropriate fonts for the locale you
|
|
chose. If you're using a font set that has a different
|
|
encoding than the one used by Xlib or libc, bad things can
|
|
happen. Try specifically putting the encoding in the LANG
|
|
variable, like ru_RU.KOI8-R. Again, see
|
|
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias"
|
|
|
|
- if your OS doesn't support any locale or if your OS doesn't
|
|
support a locale for your language, you can use X Window System's
|
|
locale emulation feature instead of OS's locale. To use this
|
|
feature, add this option to the configure, "--with-x-locale".
|
|
if your OS is commercial one, such as Solaris,IRIX,AIX,...,
|
|
you perhaps don't have to use X's locale emulation.
|
|
But if your OS is Linux or NetBSD or .. , it's possible
|
|
your locale is not supported so far. then use "--with-x-locale".
|
|
|
|
Note: to use X's locale emulation, your Xlib has to be
|
|
compiled so that the locale emulation is enabled.
|
|
Linux RedHat5.0's default Xlib is not compiled
|
|
like that. (RH4.x are ok). Recompiled Xlib for
|
|
RH5.0 where you can use locale emulation is available
|
|
here:
|
|
ftp://ftp.linux.or.jp/pub/RPM/glibc
|
|
|
|
- the fonts you're using support your locale. if your font
|
|
setting on $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker is like..
|
|
|
|
WindowTitleFont = "Trebuchet MS:bold:pixelsize=12";
|
|
MenuTitleFont = "Trebuchet MS:bold:pixelsize=12";
|
|
......................................................
|
|
|
|
then you can't display asian language (ja,ko,ch) characters using
|
|
Trebuchet MS. A font that is guaranteed to work for any language is
|
|
sans (or sans-serif). sans is not a font itself, but an alias which
|
|
points to multiple fonts and will load the first in that list that
|
|
has the ability to show glyphs in your language. If you don't know
|
|
a font that is suited for you language you can always set all your
|
|
fonts to something like:
|
|
|
|
"sans:pixelsize=12"
|
|
|
|
However, please note that if your font is something like:
|
|
|
|
"Trebuchet MS,Luxi Sans,sans:pixelsize=12"
|
|
|
|
this will not be able to display asian languages if any of the
|
|
previous fonts before sans are installed. This is because unlike
|
|
the proper font pickup that sans guarantees for your language,
|
|
this construct only allows a font fallback mechanism, which tries
|
|
all the fonts in the list in order, until it finds one that is
|
|
available, even if it doesn't support your language.
|
|
|
|
Also you need to change font settings in style files in
|
|
the "$HOME/Library/WindowMaker/Style" directory.
|
|
|
|
- the LC_CTYPE environment variable is unset or it has the correct
|
|
value. If you don't know what is the correct value, unset it.
