Re: [Gretl-users] Translation of gretl into Traditional Chinese

Dear Allin I did some tests for the traditional Chinese translation on the "fresh" installed WinXP and Ubuntu 8.10. On WinXP: The default fixed font (from CVS) in /Tools/Preferences is "Courier new." This will not work for Chinese characters in ouput windows. After tests, I found "Nsimsun" will be the best option for fixed font. Though MS Mincho and MS Gothic will also work except in gretl console in which there are some strange characters. For example, "\" will be shown as "¥" in Traditional Window XP. The default font set in gnuplot is "Verdana" in win XP. This font does not work at all. The font should be (manually) changed to Tahoma (or None) to show the correct Chinese characters in Title of plots/axes, legends, labels. On Ubuntu 8.10: The default fixed font in /Tools/Preferences is "monospace." This font works great for Chinese characters in ouput windows. However, the default font in gnuplot,"vera" does not show correct Chinese characters. Other three options, None, free sans, and luxi sans cannot work either. But if I save the plot to session as an icon and right-click on the plot in the icon view to select "edit plot commands, and then push the "Run" button, the Chinese characters will be correctly shown without any settings of fonts.
