Oh, that. Now I understand. You mean the language names in the module<br>
selection tree itself.<br>
<br>
Yes, Inuktitut is a problematic font.<br>
<br>
This is a Windows-centric problem. We have no knowledge of where<br>
Windows as a whole, or GTK-under-Windows (one of the several display<br>
toolkits Xiphos must use), finds its idea of default application font.<br>
Surprisingly to me, Windows seems the most crippled as to font awareness<br>
when compared to any UNIX or Linux system, which invariably in my<br>
experience are perfectly capable of handling such fonts. When my Linux<br>
system first wants to display a new font, GTK-driven programs pop a<br>
dialog to ask if they should go hunt it down. If someone knows how to<br>
handle such problems in Windows, I'm sure we'd all appreciate the<br>
education.<br>
