New C760, kanji display problem

[edwinbradford]

Hi, I've just got my new (used) C760 which is a massive improvement on the C700 but I have a couple of problems. I've done a Nand backup to get it back to factory status but in Kanji Nirvana most of the kanji don't show. For example, if I type in the word "kuruma" (car) in hiragana characters, the hits field displays a few spaces then a kanji. If I click on one of the spaces it gives me the translation "car" above but displays no kanji. Strange that one of them displays in the hits field but not all. The same thing happens if I draw a kanji within nirvana's drawing pane, a series of spaces and a kanji, there are several kanji but they display as spaces, only one displays properly. In both the 760's default jisho and zten there's no problem.

I'm sure it's simple to fix but I can't figure it out. Also, I'm running the Sharp 1.20 ROM, I read in another post that there's a 1.40 version but I can't find where to download it, any pointers?

Many thanks everyone.

Kanji nirvana needs the unifont font to display kanji.

You should be able to get it from the page you downloaded kanji nirvana from - if not let me know and I'll attach it here.

You can also edit the source to use lcfont or helevetica. I'm trying to get a font interface written that will allow the user to choose they fonts they want, but I need to learn qt first

Thanks Stu, I knew it had to be something simple. Be great if you can get your modificaiton done, you're right that at the moment you have to use the font set into Nirvana and it would be great to have some choice. Thanks again.

Probably the easiest way to modify KN to allow for font selection would be to add an option in the configuration file (ex. 'fontName=lcfont'); that's what I'm doing with knQuiz. You can then read the value in at startup, and set the appropriate dialogs (or the entire application) to use that font. I feel that it isn't worth adding a font selection dialog to the program itself, as the font is something that will most likely only need to be set once, and only in the case where the default font doesn't suffice.

I don't remember if the currently released version of KN uses a configuration file or not; my rewritten version (which will probably never see light) uses Qtopia's Config class to store settings (same as knQuiz).
