Recently I've reported bad symbols in Russian titles in gnuplot.
When I checked this on WinXP - everything was fine. So, there
was GNU/Linux specific problem.
Bad cyrillic text was 'rectangles', that usually means lack of
symbols in font. When I add 'FreeSans.ttf' from my distribution
to 'share/fonts' and
{ "FreeSans", "Free Sans" },
to gpt_dialog.c:558, make, make install - everything went
correct. Are really fonts, bundled with gretl, go without
cyrillic symbols? Perhaps it should be replaced?
I've now added FreeSans to the gretl fonts directory, but I'm
puzzled, because I can see correct cyrillic characters using the
fonts supplied before (luxi and Vera).
Also, I've found some strings, that are not marked for
translation:
printout.c:529
discrete.c:1265
fnsave.c:412,421,1193,1330,... - lots of them in this file
Thanks. Some of these strings are "experimental" and subject to
change, and hence have not been marked for translation. But some
of them probably should be so marked now.
Allin.
