problem with greek fonts in qtDesigner
Message 1 in thread
Hello everyone..
i am very confused as to whether i have installed fonts wrongly.. or
if there is a limitation in qtDesigner or whatever else it might be:
here are the facts:
i run KDE, in slackware 10.2 and from control centre ->regional &
accessibility -> keyboard layout, i have added keyboard support for
greek (layout), el (keymap).. i have set the layout variant to
'basic'.
as far as fonts is concerned i copied all of my ntfs (winXP) partition
fonts and installed them both in my personal fonts list and in
administrator mode (ie system mode).
in case you are greek and know linux well i note that i do have a
little problem that havent managed to solve. it is not in the scope of
this email but if you can help me out i would mostly appreciate it.
while i can type greek in all applications i can not type vowels with
stress (tonos)! how is that even possible? to make things even more
confusing i CAN type vowels with stress in mozilla firefox!!!
then:
i am programming a greek oriented application.. therefore all of the
button texts, label texts etc are to be in greek... so i have filled
all the form's object's 'text' fields in qtDesigner with greek
characters, as well as done all the setText("/*some text in greek*/")
in my .ui.h files.
the thing is when i type greek in qtDesigner i see greek on the screen
so that is fine...
However, if i close and reopen qtDesigner and look through the .ui.h
file wherever there were greek characters they have been replaced with
"???????" (no quotes and the questionmarks are in number identical to
the number of greek chars that were there before)
note that greek text in buttons on the form is still shown fine...
only the .ui.h have problems...
any ideas where i should start looking?
thank you for your help
