Good news is, both Droid & DejaVu have them all (AFAICT).
So, with this font hack, and some particular sets, for example, Museo or DejaVu (And possibly other fonts, I didn't check more than that, if you want me to check a particular font before trying it out, don't hesitate to ask  ), you should have a font supporting most (if not all) of the diatrics needed for romanian script.
EDIT: Scratch that, Droid Serif is missing the two 'T comma below' glyphs.
EDITē: But DejaVu does. I'll attach a DejaVu set to this post  .
If you prefer the 'Serif Slab' look of the default font to a classic Serif, the Museo Slab set in my third post should support the needed combined diatrics. |
Sorry for posting so late for you guys but my timezone is GMT+2.
Thank you very much NiLuJe for your help. I decided to proceed to jailbreak+fontHack. Here is what happened:
1. jailbreak worked smoothly on my k2i 2.5.3 thanks again NiLuJe (and others who worked with him)
2. hack fonts also installed with no problem .i used the autoreboot options adding a file named reboot in linkfonts folder - great job guys !
3. So far tried 2 font as NiLuJE suggested me (DejaVu and Museo_Slab) and here is the result:
- font hacking is very helpful, using a bolder font brings major improvement to reading experience
- MAJOR breakthrought for me : Romanian
webpages display correctly now on my kindle2
-bad news for my converted ebooks
(
I tried editing source files (.doc and .rtf) with Word 2007, changing font to Arial, Arial unicode, Lucinda unicode , Ms sans.... and others, and converted those with calibre - no results
diacritics not shown...
Still i am sure i am on the right directions in solving this problem
I think i have to find the font standard for romanian webpages and use it for my documents and after that convert them. Do you think this will work?
Is it possible to manually add diacritics to a font? what software do i need?
Any other ideas are welcome.
Thanks again NiLuJe for your assistance . Great guy !
