I have switched us to use the Bitstream Cyberbit font. The massive 12 mb font supports practically all of the modern languages, and has an attractive presentation for globulation 2.

The problem here is that our current developers, such as myself, aren't familiar with the requirements of East-Asian typefaces, a more experienced person needs to chat with us in order to form a solution.

japanese is in broken as is. we should take it out or leave a message that japanese can't be displayed at the time. next someone will take the effort to do a corean translation and will notice this problem, too once it's done.

Hi,

The problem is exactly what you suggested, the font we use (DejaVu, see http://dejavu.sourceforge.net), does not have any Japanese characters. If you know an extension of it including Japanese characters but still free, I'll be happy to hear about it.

Please also note that libgag does not support top-to-bottom writing nor right-to-left.

Have a nice day,

Steph

The Japanese translation that I created displays as unfilled blocks when added to the data directory.

This may be that the default font does not contain the necessary character set.

Version 0.8.19 of glob2 from Debian package on Ubuntu 5.10. Text file created using gedit in en_US.UTF-8 environment.
