Ok, the fix was to add a Theme.setFont() method, allowing the application
developer to override the default theme font. I've updated the localization
tutorial to use this API to use a font that supports Chinese characters --
see
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/pivot/trunk/tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/localization/Localization.javafor
an example. Applications that use characters outside of those
supported
by Verdana will have to use code similar to the code above as the first
thing they do when their application starts up.
Leo, can you please translate the following resources into Chinese
characters for us so we can include a valid Chinese example in the
localization tutorial?
{
firstName: "First name",
lastName: "Last name",
street: "Street",
city: "City",
state: "State",
postalCode: "Zip",
country: "Country"
}
Thanks!
