Yes, I used flipflip's workaround about editing the Unicode.pm file. Running Ubuntu 8.04LTS with 2.6.24-19-generic kernel. The system and user locale is supposedly set to en_US.UTF8, but despite this the SC interface would report ISO-8859-1. Like Mattias' case, perhaps some parameter on my system is not configured properly to reflect the UTF8 locale.
Editing the Unicode.pm directly as described brute-forced SC into rendering properly the CJK files (Japanese in my case). So yes, this works as intended. I wager it would be a welcome addition as a fail-safe for users who neglected to or do not know how to set their locale. Incidentally, once enabled, and after having scp'ed CJK friendly fonts to the Duet controller, everything is rendered correctly; but scrolling through files/albums/artists with Japanese titles is rather slow. I suppose this has to do with the fact that they are double-byte characters, and as such contain more data. The interface noticeably lags. This makes selecting anything in non-standard text difficult, and one is likely to "skip over" the intended selection. It's clunky enough that I am tempted to rename everything to Roman characters to boost performance. I don't know if this is fixable or is an inherent limitation of the rendering capabilities of the device, but any sort of performance boost would be welcome... -- softsantear ------------------------------------------------------------------------ softsantear's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48788 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
