International character support

Hello all,

I'm new to the list so I apologize if this is not the correct list
for a question of this nature. I was wondering if anyone knows if it
is possible to view international character sets, particularly Shift-
JIS, on the web browser of the n800. I've went through the menus and
see it's not listed in the encodings dialog. I also downloaded the
minimo browser hoping it might have support but no luck. Is there a
way I can add this somehow?

Thanks!

--Dan--

Re: International character support [In reply to]

Hi Dan,

If the site specifies charset such as EUC-JP or ISO-2022-JP,
opera browser can show the site correctly.
Of couse, if you'd like to see Japanese site, you have to
install JP font to your N800 first.

Anyway, I also want to know how to modify the encoding list
of the opera browser. Currently, there is no EUC-JP etc.

Regards,
Kimitake

Re: International character support [In reply to]

Thank you for your quick reply. The sites I am interested in do
specify the charset on the page so I am most likely needing the font.
Currently I only get an _ (underscore) character in place of hiragana/
kanji characters. Is there a resource for finding more information on
installing a font or do I pretty much need to install it as I would
any linux machine and opera will pick it up.

Thanks again!

Re: International character support [In reply to]

Hi Dan,

If you can read Japanese, plase refer the following site.

http://www.grass-japan.org/FOSS4G/readme-grass-i18n-ipafonts.eucjp.htm
You can get JP free font from the site above.
You need to install one of them to your device.

http://kimitake.blogdns.net/item/388
You need to get R&D mode of N800 to install JP font.
The site (mine) describes how to switch R&D mode.

Unfortunately the site that JP font provides does not allow
to provide font only secondary. If it is OK, I can create a
simple debian package...

Regards,
Kimitake

Re: International character support [In reply to]

Thank you very much Kimitake! I will try your solution this evening
hopefully and let you know my results. It seems to me it would have
made more sense for Nokia to include a wide range of fonts on the
n800 by default.

Thanks!

Re: International character support [In reply to]

It worked! Thank you so much for your information Kimitake. Your site
worked perfectly for me. Opera now displays JP characters without any
problems.

Why? You just need to create a .fonts directory directly in /home/user
and drop the font file inside. osso-xterm should suffice for that.

Yes, you are right.
But I'd like to copy it to /usr/share/fonts :)

I would most definitely be interested. I'm sure having it posted on
the list as well would be a benefit to future user like myself that
are looking for a solution. Thank you again!
