Subject: Re: MAXR now supports different charsets for translations. NEED VOLUNTEERS
This is it.. as you can see offers the iso-8559-5 set most cyrillic characters. Some may be missing. You have to deal with the existing.


(Source: click)

Check maxr's root dir fir the folder "fonts". Here you'll find images names "somewhat-iso-8559-5.pcx" representing your cyrillic characters that are simply added to the basic set all iso-8559s have in common during loading of the language file.

Add your missing characters at the proper places according to the image above using a pixel manipulation programm like gimp. Do not change the image type, palette or colour depth.

The image above uses a slighly different sorting: an empty field at the beginning. skip this one and start counting from the first character both images have in common when adding new characters to the image. Do so for all font types if needed. The small fonts only cover capital letters. Feel free to fix misplaced characters as well (I know of at least 2).

When done with the translation send me the file. I'll try to convert if for you. With this you should have something to start from Smiling Feel free to ask.

Edit: Oh.. and welcome to the bbs Hurra

dang.. I really need some coffee Coffee
