Fonts Problem
« on: February 01, 2005, 11:48:37 am »
1. How can I maintain the menu's fonts and use the other fonts in the other application like qualendar or web browser?  Please advise.  

2. How can I install japan handwriting in cacko 1.22J?

 
I'm using cacko ROM 1.22J and C860.

Have you installed Japanese-support ipk?

If so then you need to change /home/zaurus/Settings/locale.conf to contain ja as the Language

If not, then do so as it contains the fonts and japanes input methods

Not quite sure what you mean with this question. Do you want to have English menus and still see/use Japanese in applications? Or do you want to change the fonts for a particular application?

If it's the first, then there are 2 ways - look at [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10239&view=findpost&p=63326]this thread[/url] for more info on what they are.

If it's the second, then it depend on the application. Many apps have their on config files or preference settings that allow you to change fonts.

As I mentioned, that is generally application specific, many (but by no means all) apps have some ability to change font.

Sometimes this means editing a config file manually, other times there is an option on the menus.

Othertimes the only option is to get the source if possible and edit the source yourself
