Description Simon Kelley 2006-04-19 03:49:37 UTC

from a Debian bug report: 

>I have some music with Chinese
>titles in it.  To get the titles displayed, I switched to the
>arphic/ukai.ttf font.  However, AFAIK, there is no single font that
>covers all the Unicode glyphs, so perhaps SlimServer needs to be
>extended to support multiple Unicode fonts and to use the appropriate
>font for any given code.  Firefox seems to do this nicely, but I have
>no idea what logic they use to pick which font (e.g., ukai.ttf does
>have English characters but they're ugly so you wouldn't want to use
>that font for anything other than the Chinese characters).

Dan: what do you think?

Comment 2 Dan Sully 2006-04-19 08:30:58 UTC

Firefox is able to make use of the X Font Server.

Can you attach a file that causes this problem?

Thanks.

Dan: were you looking at this for 6.2.2?

Comment 5 Dan Sully 2006-04-24 09:35:59 UTC

Please use the CODE2000.TTF font that comes with SlimServer 6.2.2 (nightlies).

I just tested using the cue sheet you uploaded, and it looks fine.

Comment 6 Simon Kelley 2006-04-24 10:17:04 UTC

Is "code2000.ttf" the same as that available here?

http://home.att.net/~jameskass/code2000_page.htm

That seems to be shareware (for money) licensed. Is it legit to ditribute it with Slimserver? Can it be added to Debian too?

Comment 7 Dan Sully 2006-04-24 10:22:52 UTC

We contacted the author (and sent him the shareware fee) - he's cool with it being distributed with SlimServer

Comment 8 Blackketter Dean 2006-04-24 10:24:07 UTC

Subject: Re:  Support for Chinese Unicode fonts.

We've licensed Code2000 for distribution with SlimServer.
