[Pharo-project] Fwd:Dr.geo en Arabe
hanks Ahmed! A request. Is it possible to have Arab language under Pharo?

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with arabic. I think writing right-to-left does not work, so editing would probably not. Also, letters containing multiple glyphs will probably fail to be composited correctly. The best bet is probably to load up a FT-type containing arabic glyphs and see how far you can go from there. (And report bugs along the way) Cheers, Henry On 06.11.2010 14:47, Hilaire Fernandes wrote:

Bonjour Hilaire, Si joint la traduction de Dr.Geo II en Arabe, j'ai testé uniquement sous Etoys vu qu'il a le support de Pango (indispensable pour le rendu de script complexe), est-t-il possible d'ajouter le support de Pango à Pharo dans une version prochaine?
Cordialement,
I've had problems with Hebrew fonts which should fall in the same problem space. I just tried some true type ones and the glyphs don't show (same fonts work just fine in eclipse and visual studio). Maybe a bitmap version would work. In any case, it's hard enough getting right to left working in my experience. I don't believe it works particularly well in morphic and in the editors to be useful and you end up being reduced to cut and paste with strings (assuming you can get the string text to even display correctly). I've fooled around with unicode and utf-8 without much luck, but perhaps someone more familiar with Pharo internals can come up with better internationalization solutions. Also keep in mind there are both specialized keyboards and ones that just map font glyphs based on querty, and also overlays. Most of this comes from the host OS of course - check it out on Mac OSX, lots of settings here, but nothing I've tried works with Pharo. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Fwd-Dr-geo-en-Arabe-tp3029996p3030364.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Thanks for the info. I don't have the resource to work on that topic. I was just in need to know what I could reply to these request for an Arabian version of DrGeo. So far only doeable under Etoys with Pango, so in Linux only context. Hilaire Le 06/11/2010 22:04, YossiDM a écrit :
