Bugzilla – Bug 8688
Boom does not display double-byte characters (with small font selected)
Last modified: 2008-12-15 11:58:51 UTC
When I play the attached file on a Boom and a SB3, I see completely different tagging information. On the SB3 I see Japanese and Chinese characters where they should be. On the Boom those characters are expressed in English/Roman characters. Either there's tags embedded in this file that contain the translated text, or SC is translating the characters for display as English?
Created attachment 3553 [details] MP3 file with Japanese & Chinese characters in tags and filename.
These characters are generated from a TTF file. It looks we'll have to add a definition for Boom's font names to Display::Lib::Fonts?
Michael says he'll give this a try.
Michael - yes you need to create entries in the %font2TTF hash for the boom font names. We could alternatively strip off the _n from the front name, but I suspect you may want to tune the boom TTF fonts to be narrower, so its probably easiest just to create new entries and tune them. Also create an entry in %font2uc.
*** Bug 8758 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
change 21954 - add Boom support for fonts rendered from TTF file (double-byte characters). Using the same definitions as the normal fonts. To be tweaked if necessary.
What firmware will that work in, Michael? Or is that firmware independent?
Its a server thing - just try a server later than the change here.
Verified functioning properly with r19 & 7.2-22118
I am reopening this bug after marking it as verified, as I notiecd that when I have Small display fonts selected, then only ENGLISH is shown on the display. when I have medium or large fonts selected, then the proper kanji characters are shown.
Boom only, SB2/3 and TP are fine. Jive lacks the font set so only shows boxes where the characters should be.
typo - should be fixed by change 22131
Thanks Adrian!
Verified with SC 7.2 - 22900
