_______________________________________________________
Details:
OSX binaries are typically expected to be provided as a "Universal Binary",
which is executable on both PPC and Intel powered Macs. The currently
provided OSX/UB package is unplayable on PPC because the characters are
rendered as boxes, due to a byte ordering problem. This is documented in the
forums: http://forum.freeciv.org/viewtopic.php?t=4313&start=15 , search for
"font problem"
A suggested fix is provided later in the same forum; change
*get_display_encoding to the following:
{
static const char bytes[2] = {0x11, 0x22};
if(*(Uint16 *)bytes == 0x1122)
return "UTF-16BE";
return "UTF-16LE";
}
