Hello all,

As we know Duokan has problem with national characters from different alphabets. Some of chars are missing, some appear with space after them.
So I wonder if it possible to change something to get national chars.

Changing system fonts of Duokan resolves problem partialy in dictionary: fonts are visible but with additional spaces. However books are still without chars.

In install script of Duokan locales are defined as "zh_CN". Maybe here is the problem. Is it possible to change locales (with adequate files)? Or it's futile?

=============

WS64,
You can prepare one special font with german chars instead of some signs in basic ASCII (up to 127). For example "ß" instead "&"

Not the best solution, but better than nothing.

There are languages with 20 and more national chars.
