 introduce gnucash to the local Macau community. But Chinese support is 
 essential. We're prepared to allocate a certain budget to make it 
 work. Is there any way that we can help to fix this problem?

It's unclear whether the 1.8 release can EVER really do Chinese.
It's not UTF-8, it's ISO-8859-1.  Indeed, Gnome-1.4 doesn't really
support UTF-8, so it would be challenging to get it working in the
1.8 release.  Unfortunately the g2 release probably wont be available
until late this year.

The latest stable release is 1.8.11.   I have seen talk about another
1.8.x release, but I believe most of the dev effort right now is
finishing the g2 branch.

font hardcoded

2005-05-20 Thread Kent Tong
Hi,

I notice that Chinese can't be displayed at various places in gnucash. After
investigation, I found that it is because the use of a helvetica font is
hardcoded in gnc-dense-cal.c and gnucash-style.c and they call gdk_font_load()
to load the font.

This is apparently not a way suitable for i18n. However, I have absolutely
no experience with GTK (and pango), I don't know how to fix this problem.
Would you please give me your suggestion, ie, what is the right way to
do it?

Thanks!
