DejaVu Sans Condensed, 2. Vera Sans, 3. Liberation Sans fonts and 2 locales 1. ru_RU.UTF-8 2. he_IL.UTF-8 ~~~~~ Results: ru_RU.UTF-8 DejaVu Sans Condensed - very nice Vera Sans - not support Liberation Sans - nice he_IL.UTF-8 DejaVu Sans Condensed - all work fine.. Vera Sans - not support Liberation Sans - not support.. ~~~~~ Freeciv screenshot with he_IL.UTF-8 locale + DejaVu Sans Condensed font => http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/8372/freecivheilutf8dejavusaoa7.png I think need to do DejaVu's fonts - default font in SDL-client.. I understand too what DejaVu can't support all locales, but can be used for specific fonts for Chinese, Japanese and Korean locales... ~Nikita "dragon_djanic" Bukhvostov _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
