Hi -

I've integrated Bert's fix as well as support for .ttc collections:

http://tracker.squeakland.org/browse/SQ-283

While working on this I realized how outdated the etoys image is when it comes to TTF support. I was trying to bring in some other necessary fixes but that wouldn't work at all, so I've added a filed out version of TTCFont.st from 3.10.2-trunk which has all the necessary fixes but probably some other issues. With this version things *almost* work:

* Install TTFileDescription.5.cs * Install TTCFont.st * Install WhiteSpaceFixes.2.cs

(oh, stupid, stupid JIRA - it does not preserve the ordering in which files were added and you cannot order by date even in "manage attachments" mode; make sure you do *not* load TTFileDescription.st since it's outdated)

* If on Windows, execute:

TTFileDescription installFamilyNamed: 'Batang'.

(this is a standard font on Windows which has CJK support)

* Change the standard menu font to Batang * Switch the image to Japanese language

At this point the image blows up somewhere in TextMorph>>authoringPrototype. But if you proceed and open a menu it shows CJK-ish looking characters (not that I could tell if it's correct ;-)

In any case, using the current versions of TTCFont in 3.10.2-trunk I was able to produce the attached image which shows a bit of text from Squeak's wikipedia entry in various languages.

Yoshiki - for some strange reason it seems that some of the glyphs in the Japanese entry are substituded by the default glyph (see the fourth glyph in what I think is the phonetic transcription of Squeak).

Do you have any idea if that is the expected behavior for Batang or if there might be something wrong? It would be good if we could get the text in Squeak to show up correctly, and I'm at a loss here since I have no idea even what code ranges to look at ;-)

Cheers, - Andreas
