Hi Joe, Great, you got enough information. My experience with fonts is that there is currently no font that can be used for every language. Elisa, who takes part to our project, told me that there is a Linux font (DéjàVu?) that tries to address this issue. However the version in Debian currently doesn't work with Indian and Burmese fonts for example. I faced this issue with the installer and the keyboard layout preview.
The only working solution is then to use the default system font. This can be an issue without any solution for games if they want to show a funny font. > They are interested in getting a new solution (ttf font) so the game > can be translated correct, but as often seen, hasn't the resources for > it.

I'll try to look at the source code soon at least to know what language and libraries they're using. > I tested the Russian translation, and the text in the game is blank, > so DoudouLinux in Russian has a serious bug here.

Sergey, you can confirm? > A Danish translation could be made without the 3 missing letters from > the Danish alphabet, but it would look strange, especially for kids. Yes, I don't like this kind of solution either. We may need to let this game in English in the end, instead of showing erroneous texts. -- Cheers, JM.
