Hey, This is just a quick status report on the snapshot status.
What's delaying the snapshot right now is font and encoding issues. I updated fonts and the Fontconfig package, ran a full installation on QEMU and booted from the virtual HD and I still get squares in place of some characters when loading KDE in Hungarian. I figured that if we don't ship Bitstream Vera and ship Deja Vu instead, it will take over as a default 'sans' font for the X server, fixing all apps at once. A problem is that OpenOffice ships Vera in its shared/fonts and the latest Fontconfig package now adds /S/L/S/fonts to the global font path. (why is that and do we REALLY need it? I'd rather keep full font control in /Files/Fonts in 014.) I took a look at some of the console issues too. The version of ZSH we're currently shipping does not support UTF-8 at all. I'm considering upgrading, so that at least users have a chance of configuring their systems to UTF-8 if they want to. 014 will probably NOT ship with full UTF-8 support (not to mention "full" UTF-8 support is a much more complicated issue than fixing Hungarian support, if you think about CJK, etc.), but at least I'd like to get our international support improved somewhat. -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
