Probably:-( I have DoulosSIL which I thought was a comprehensive Unicode font. But among other things, it does not appear to have a glyph for: Greek Small Letter Iota with acute accent U+03AF What font are you using? That is part of what I am trying to find out! I have not added any fonts to the Raspberry Pi RISC OS distro so I presume it is one of the new fonts it provides in !Fonts. Maybe FreeMono, FreeSans, . I tried altering the names of some of these, to see if I could get RUfl to make different choices of font - after all there are probably masses of installed fonts for NetSurf to choose from when it is asked to display a particular glyph - but, when I rebooted, NetSurf bottled out with an error message about not being able to initialize the Unicode fonts. My problems concern \pi and \mu being rendered bold. It would be nice if RUfl_cache held its data in text form. Then a) we could read it to see which font was being used for which glyph, and b) we could edit it to get some control over how NetSurf shows text. Or at least, I presume so. Glad to be corrected if I have this upside down, by somebody knows how RUfl works. -- Gavin Wraith (ga...@wra1th.plus.com) Home page: http://www.wra1th.plus.com/

I'm using Cyberbit here, It's a freeware TTF font that I converted to RISC OS format using !TTF2f, which app as far as I remember ran on my late Iyo; it certainly runs on this ARMini. From my hazy memory, DoulosSIL mainly deals with diacritics of languages like Czech, though this might be my mistake. I don't think it's a full Unicode font, anyway. Cyberbit has omissions, where occasionally characters appear as hex couplets, but is pretty wide-ranging. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter Young (zfc Ta) and family Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

Experimentation has indicated that it is the Exo font on the Rpi which is causing overheavy /Delta and /pi glyphs. My only problem now is getting rid of the overheavy /mu. Apart from that Greek text is rendered quite elegantly, diacritics and all, but finding which fonts are responsible will need further work. I am getting the same display on Rpi and Iyonix, which have different fonts installed, so I can probably rule out the fonts that do not appear on both. -- Gavin Wraith (ga...@wra1th.plus.com) Home page: http://www.wra1th.plus.com/

I have now removed _all_ the fonts from SDFS::RISCOSpi.$.!Boot.Resources.!Fonts apart from System, but the page http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0173%3Atext%3DSym. is still rendered OK by NetSurf with all the Greek text fine apart for the bold /mu problem. Can I take it that this has to be a fault with the fonts Corpus, Homerton and Trinity in Resources:$.Fonts somewhere? I must say, I did not know that these had been extended to unicode. Pity about the wrong style /mu if this is in the official Rpi distro. -- Gavin Wraith (ga...@wra1th.plus.com) Home page: http://www.wra1th.plus.com/
