Ukrainian symbols

Hi all!

Is it possible to insert text with Ukrainian letters (different from Russian - there are only 4 of them)?

Asking just because there is an option of Ukrainian GUI language...

Thanks!

Hi drvlas,

looks like our Ukraine translation goes well with 88% translated.

As LibreCAD supports UTF8 encoding internally, it should support  Ukrainian by defalt.

How can I participate?

As for Ukrainian symbols - it is a problem of used font (not implemented characters in used *.lff font), and not a bug of LibreCAD.
Please, tell font's maker to add this characters in default fonts redistributet with LibreCAD!

OK, I've got you.

Thank you for an answer!

The font maker are LibreCAD team

You have two options:
1) open a feature request in sourceforge.net indicating the font file (iso.lff p.e.) and the characters needed like 0490

2) create the characters yourself and send a patch to sourceforge indicating which are the new characters.

To create new characters:
File->open in filters select "lff font", the file are opened and each char are a block.
create a new block called p.e. 0490 and draw the new char using arcs, lines or polylines
then save it as "lff font" and the new char are ready to use.

If you create the chars please send it as patch to include in newer version of LibreCAD
license GPL2 or above are mandatory!!!

The chars 0404, 0407, 0454, 0457, 0490 & 0491 are added in cyrillic_ii.lff
and commited in master branch, please check it.

I have not got you. What does it mean? What have I to check?

And is it still a need in patshes?

I do not know the Ukrainian alphabet or the cirillic.
Attached in the second message are the file with the new chars.
You would have to test whether the new characters are correct and your problem are solved.
The feature request is not needed for this "problem" but if you find more missing characters
then open a feature request.
The patch link omly are needed if you are encouraged to collaborate.
Remember that this project is done by volunteers and all collaboration are welcome

Rallaz,

Please tell me how can I use the file.

Collaboration: I think about the translating English terms to Ukrainian.
Maybe I'd try to draw Ukrainian letters too, but only if somebody helps me with the start of the process. You see, I'm a dummy in software design.

I checked in my libraries, there's such file and its date: Last modified:     2011-09-29
So I have the latest vertion.

Not exactly!

I copied the file you linked and saw: it is different from the one I've got with the LibreCAD earlier.

So I put the new file in the library. And something happened! I can see some symbols.
But not all. Let me show what is right and what is not:
0457 - OK
0407 - OK
0404 - OK
0454 - OK
0490 - OK
0491 - OK

Symbols 0406 and 0456 are identical with English 'I' and 'i' - and they are being shown as blanks. Well, I can write them in English.

The file linked are modified after read your post

But not all. Let me show what is right and what is not:
0456 (looks as English 'i') - shows blank space
0406 (looks as 'I') - space
0457 - OK!
0407 - shows 'I' but it is wrong
0404 - OK
0454 - OK
0490 - OK
0491 - OK

0456 & 0406 are not mentioned in your previous post
then only 0407, not bad :-D

Can I edit the font file myself and send for your approval?

Of course!!

Please note that the wqy-unicode.lff font file already contains the mentioned symbos. The wqy-unicode.lff was added for fully Chinese-Japanese-Korean font support as set by the 1.0.0 milestone.
