Hello there, It's good that i came across this mail. Even i am facing a similar problem. I think earlier i have troubled Sven enough with my silly questions( DirectFb installation). Sorry for all that.
Now i have all the recent versions of gtk+-Dierectfb & pango-1.2.5 with fontconfig (working fine). Now i have to render some OpenType fonts on my gtk+ appln. (To be specific i need to use indic fonts). I came across a package called IndLinux-Hindi.0.73, installing which will provide me all the locale and fonts and translation stuffs for the OpenType fonts i want to use. Now my problem is : when i run simplest of calender example of gtk+, i could see all the required fonts in the listing of fonts, but that is not getting applied to the calender text. But let say, i set my LANG environment variable to other locales, if run the calender executable again, the default it self will be the language i have set using LANG. But i cannot change it at run time, rather i have to come back & change "LANG" again. Now pls help me to change this locale & fonts for my gtk+ appln at run time. Is there any link to guide me further? I expect a helping hand at the earliest. thank you very much, regards, Bheemesh.
