Description Bj 2005-12-15 19:54:25 UTC
Version:           0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

The steve.ttf font does not include the characters þ and ð, making the program very hard to translate into Icelandic.
Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2005-12-15 23:09:26 UTC
Hi, true, the problem is that i'm not a font designer, well, i'm just horrible in anything that involves proper drawing, so we have two possible solutions:

a) You or someone else modifiy the steve.ttf font to include characters
b) I add an option so that you (when translating) can indicate blinken not to use steve.ttf but system default font.

What do you think? Are you an artistic type of user? If so i can give a few directions on how to produce the missing glyphs.
Comment 2 Jure Repinc 2006-01-21 15:44:26 UTC
Same problem here with Slovenian translation. I think that this additional option to control the font used would be very usefull.

Some pointers on how to modify the font would also be great.
