Does FreeType manages fonts? Selecting an alternate font when the asked glyph is absent? No idea, and I am curious to know how it is managed at the OS level. For DrGeo, at startup time, I load different font depending on the language of the OS host, about copy pasting chinese text it does not work for me. I got unicode values: \u81fa\u5317\u5e02 and not èºåå¸. But may be a problem of my host. Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu http://google.com/+DrgeoEu

Try unchecking and then checking again "Use free type...". But apart from fonts, CJK content should work. However I don't quite understand why would I need to change font so CJK characters are displayed. Because no matter what font I pick, there will be language whose characters are not supported... and why do I need to select the font in the first place? My linux terminal has DejaVu Sans Mono font and yet it displays CJK characters just fine, so surely we can do better than a stupid urxvt terminal? Peter

Chinese Character Data

by Sean P. DeNigris

Can I e.g. paste Chinese characters from a web page and save as data? I don't need to be able to use Chinese characters for code. I see pasting creates a wide string but the characters do not display. I assume this is because my font does not support them, but in the Settings Browser I only see 3 choices on Mac, none of which seem to display them. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Chinese-Character-Data-tp4843635.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

It is possible, and it needs someone who can deal with low-level details. Magma has its own mailing list. Chris has repeatedly said he'd be willing to help out, but is not willing to be the Pharo port maintainer. Stephan
