Well, would you tell what you mean by "you must type 红房子" and then, select a font with support for this character set"?
You can see in the image that I selected a font and selected "use selected font". Does this not imply that if my keyboard is inputting a specific series of 2-byte characters, Gimp should display those characters? In other words, if the keyboard is mapped to specific character set, should it not be displaying those characters? So, it's not obvious to me. :( Thanks, Partha On Fri, Sep 26, 2014 at 10:21 AM, jEsuSdA 8) <lis...@jesusda.com> wrote: > El 26/09/14 a las 15:18, Partha Bagchi escribió: >> >> I am trying to figure out how to type in languages other than >> English.However, even if I select "Use Selected Font", I still don't >> see the native language and text still comes out in English. >> >> Here is a screenshot. >> >> http://www.partha.com/temp/official-gimp-texttool.png >> >> Is there something I am missing? >> > > Forgive me if I tell you anything is obvious to you, but I see you typed > "This is a text" so, "This is a text" is what Gimp shows. > > If you want to type anything in other language, I think you must type " 红房子" > and then, select a font with support for this chararacter set. > > In other words, the language is not defined by the typefont itself, the > typefont could have or not support for one language or other, but the > language is defined for the words you type. > > I Repeat: May be I'm wrong and I'm tell you something that you know yet, > then forgive me.
