In Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew locales, the letters show up fine, but in the wrong direction. The SDL client does obviously not support right-to-left writing systems. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are not supported. One thing I noticed is that it seems to have greater line spacing than Vera, giving the message windows and menus an 'airier' feel. ~Daniel _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
