- A friend of mine is having some problems, as he is typesetting stuff in
- foreign languages, and there are special accented chgaracters in
- Turkish/polish and other langiages, that are not found in the ISO Latin
- 1 character set. Currently I have made him use Times and Helvetica
- only, and then use the foreign system software to get the character
- sets. On the developer CD he can find most systems, and all the system 7
- do have a TrueType font with the wanted characters. I am not sure if
- there is an easier way to do this ? This way the comany who does the
- printouts has to have the foreign system as well.
-
- I just looked at Localizer 3.8, and the installer scripts that comes
- with it on the developer CD. And it seems that the Turkish script
- installs some standard resources, a new systemfont with characters
- remapped, and then uses the Roman script!!! I was under the impression
- that you had to change script system when you where not using Latin1.
- Things designed/written under turkish system will show up with the
- special codes replaced by 2-char combinations under a plain Roman script
- (danish or US). So what is going on ? is the installer scripts on this
- CD outdated ? How can I handle such a situation ?
