Category: win32 Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Harvey King (kngharv) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: displaying Chinese characters and font-family Initial Comment: Dear all: I am currently testing out Gaim/2.0b3 on Windows XP, using the supplied gtk 2.6.8x. I encounter a strange problem of not able to see Chinese characters in MSN *SOMETIMES*, mostly depend upon who am I talking to. This occurs in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. So, I created a separate MSN account and start messenging myself using Web MSN Messenger. One of the interesting feature of Microsoft's Web MSN client is that you can choose 4 different font-family: Arial, Times, Courier, Tahoma, Verdana. As I suspected, Chinese fonts only successfully displayed when "Times" and "Tahoma" is used (see attached screen capture file). I suspect that I need to specify font substitution behavior. Tried to resolve this problem, I have created a local.conf in C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\etc\fonts directory (see below). But it's not working. Any idea what goes wrong? Thanks in advance kngharv ps. I know this is more of a GTK question than a GAIM question. any pointers on GTK for Win32 would be very appreciated. pss. my local.conf, located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\GTK\2.0\etc\fonts\local.conf <?xml version="1.0"?> <fontconfig> <dir>WINDOWSFONTDIR</dir> <dir>c:/windows/fonts</dir> <!-- Alias well known font names to available TrueType fonts --> <alias> <family>Times</family> <accept><family>Times New Roman</family></accept> </alias> <alias> <family>Helvetica</family> <accept><family>Verdana</family></accept> </alias> <alias> <family>Arial</family> <accept><family>Arial Unicode MS</family></accept> </alias> <alias> <family>Courier</family> <accept><family>Courier New</family></accept> </alias> <!-- Serif faces --> <alias> <family>Bitstream Vera Serif</family> <family>Times</family> <family>Times New Roman</family> <family>Nimbus Roman No9 L</family> <family>Luxi Serif</family> <family>Kochi Mincho</family> <family>FZZhongDengXian-Z07T</family> <family>AR PL Mingti2L Big5</family> <family>Baekmuk Batang</family> <default><family>serif</family></default> </alias> <!-- Sans-serif faces --> <alias> <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family> <family>Helvetica</family> <family>Arial</family> <family>Verdana</family> <family>Nimbus Sans L</family> <family>Luxi Sans</family> <family>Kochi Gothic</family> <family>FZZhongDengXian-Z07T</family> <family>AR PL KaitiM Big5</family> <family>Baekmuk Dotum</family> <family>SimSun</family> <default><family>sans-serif</family></default> </alias> <!-- Monospace faces --> <alias> <family>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</family> <family>Courier</family> <family>Courier New</family> <family>Andale Mono</family> <family>Luxi Mono</family> <family>Nimbus Mono L</family> <family>NSimSun</family> <default><family>monospace</family></default> </alias> <!-- Provide required aliases for standard names --> <alias> <family>serif</family> <prefer> <family>Bitstream Vera Serif</family> <family>Times New Roman</family> <family>Nimbus Roman No9 L</family> <family>Luxi Serif</family> <family>Times</family> <family>Kochi Mincho</family> <family>FZZhongDengXian-Z07T</family> <family>AR PL Mingti2L Big5</family> <family>Baekmuk Batang</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family> <family>Verdana</family> <family>Nimbus Sans L</family> <family>Luxi Sans</family> <family>Arial</family> <family>Helvetica</family> <family>Kochi Gothic</family> <family>FZZhongDengXian-Z07T</family> <family>AR PL KaitiM Big5</family> <family>Baekmuk Dotum</family> <family>SimSun</family> </prefer> </alias> <alias> <family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</family> <family>Andale Mono</family> <family>Courier New</family> <family>Luxi Mono</family> <family>Nimbus Mono L</family> <family>Kochi Gothic</family> <family></family> <family>Baekmuk Dotum</family> </prefer> </alias> </fontconfig> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=200235&aid=1470946&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
