Hi devs, Recently I submitted a patch and a bug related to the internationalization:
[#34373] Use i18n monospace font in Text editor and Python console http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=34373&group_id=9&atid=127 [#34396] Some kanji characters in i18n font are unreadable for Japanese users http://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=34396&group_id=9&atid=498 The patch [#34373] obviously needs additional international font for displaying CJK characters properly. Also, Japanese font is needed to solve the bug [#34396]. So, Blender have to use the following fonts at least: (1) proportional font (default) = bfont.ttf (2) monospace font (default) = bmonofont.ttf (3) proportional font (international) = droidsans.ttf (4) monospace font (international) (5) proportional font (Japanese) (6) monospace font (Japanese) I'm not sure if the other languages need additional fonts. If we solve these issues by adding the fonts (4)-(6) above, file sizes of the release archives increase by 5-10MB. Maybe Linux distro maintainers hate such bundled fonts because they must remove the fonts and apply some patches to build distro packages. I think the the international font should be removed and system-wide fonts should be used instead.
