Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

Hello, The report of Henrique, very accurate as usual :) I just wanted to add two extras: - Table-making characters that mixed single-lined and double-lined borders were reused to accomodate the extra characters. That is why programs that used tables mixing single-lined and double-lined borders

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

Hi all, PPS: Maybe the CPI directory of FreeDOS could ship with a TXT file giving a list of which fonts can be found in which CPX or CPI file? There are four TXT files in the CPIDOS package with plenty of information; I'm available for further explanation, if necessary. Henrique

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

Hi Paul, CP437 is very weak. It only covers german, swedish and finnish. It is only a "copy" of the table of characters available on those old CGA cards.All the rest on that codepage covers linedraw, block, shade, logical/mathematical, currency characters and a few greek letters (for

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

Hi Steve, cp437 does not cover spanish because it needs uppercase-acute-accented vowels (other than "É/é"), as does portuguese and many other romance languages, such as catalan, which you mentioned. Providing "Ñ/ñ", "¡/¿", "«/»" and "ª/º" is not enough. Dutch is not properly handled by any

Well, I am for from being an expert too on that. I tend to believe, code page 437 which was mostly the standard in DOS (at least US version)... was later mostly replaced by code page 1250 in Windows. Edit: looks like I am wrong: "ANSI Windows code pages, and especially the code page 1252, were

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

Hi Paul, > mmm is code page (437 is default, 850 is updated form, 1252 for Windows) In general, you can assume that 437 is what comes with your BIOS and graphics card BIOS while 850 is popular in DOS. Codepages of Windows are not popular in DOS :-) Maybe Mateusz or Aitor can say what the most

I have no problem including any submitted language translation for FDI. By it’s inclusion, it would be supported by FDI either through auto-detection or setting the LANG environment variable. I just make no promises that it will be on the Select Language screen. > On Dec 17, 2015, at 10:48 AM,

Re: [Freedos-devel] FDI Additional Languages

I am not sure we can expect most languages could be encoded in CP437 (Code page 437 [IBM]). Maybe a file in CP437 should have something like "CP=850" and then the 3 others file would be encoded in that specific code page. Then the installer could use chcp to select the codepage before

Well, except for adding package selection in FDI, all user facing text is ready for translation into any additional languages that the installer should support. All translation text for FDI is contained in 3 text files per language and will be located under the installers directory in a
