Chinese character support development (2 Viewers)

[silas_yao]

Hi Isaac,

You have said you need 256MB graphic memory to support Chinese charaters. Link

And here you listed your modification to the fonts. My question is you are loading 20,000+ charaters. However, from what I've read only a smaller number of these are in daily use? Link

I would suggest a very good thing would be to reduce the number of characters loaded. This willl reduce the memory required and work with the current font engine. To do this some work may be required to load a list of characters, not just a range.

For example instead of:

<start>19968</start> 
<end>40869</end>

something like:

<characters>19969,20012,23000-24000,...</characters>

This change may not be so hard.

Could anybody explain these phases belows which files to be modified:

<characters>19969,20012,23000-24000,...</characters>

thx in advance.

Can't wait to see it available

Issac:

Great work! I liked the sample shots that you posted. Can't wait until your work is made available to the general public. Is there a way for me to get a copy of your mediaPortal? Is it possible to retain English menus but at same time recognize Chinese characters? Thanks.
