Please help with Cyrilic fonts

FokkerCharlie · Post by **FokkerCharlie** » Thu May 28, 2009 3:30 pm

Hi

I'm trying to get Rosetta Stone software working under Wine, and actually it seems fine, apart from one thing:

On the Russian language lessons, the font displayed is English-type, rather than Cyrillic. That's no good! It's working fine on my VirtualBox XP setup.

I have copied all the fonts from XP and Vista installations, to no good effect. I have also tried winetricks corefonts AND allfonts.

Any other ideas?

Cheers
Charlie

Try setting LANG to a Russian locale.

Hi Austin

Thanks for your response. I tried this:

sudo locale-gen ru_RU.CP1251
LANG=ru_RU.CP1251 wine TheRosettaStone.exe

With no discernible difference.

Is that what you meant?

Which distribution do you use? You probably have UTF-8 locale. It that's the
case, you should use ru_RU.UTF-8.
And I'm not sure you have to or should use locale-gen or something like that
- it's probably better to install appropriate locale via your distribution's
package manager.

OK, I tried :

Code: Select all

$locale -a
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
en_IN
en_NG
en_NZ.utf8
en_PH.utf8
en_SG.utf8
en_US.utf8
en_ZA.utf8
en_ZW.utf8
POSIX
ru_RU.utf8
ru_UA.utf8

so I ran the app with:
LANG=ru_RU.utf8 wine TheRosettaStone.exe

But with no change! I am using Ubuntu Jaunty. Just to be clear, I want the app to run in English, but the lesson text to display in Russian- are we going about this the right way?

Thanks for your input so far.

Charlie

so I ran the app with:
LANG=ru_RU.utf8 wine TheRosettaStone.exe

Try _exactly_ the following:
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 wine TheRosettaStone.exe

Then, if it will not help, try
LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 wine TheRosettaStone.exe

But with no change! I am using Ubuntu Jaunty. Just to be clear, I want

I think probably the right locale name is UTF-8, not utf8, despite "locale
-a" output. I'm running all programs exactly that way (I'm Russian and I use
Cyrillic texts here and there, but prefer English UI for applications). My
locale settings are:

$ locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8"

$locale -a
... (skipped) ...
ru_RU
ru_RU.koi8r
ru_RU.utf8
... (skipped) ...

Hmmmm.

Still the same result here. I should have spotted this earlier, but here's the output from the terminal when running the app- there are quite a few lines referencing fonts!

Is there some demo version of Rosetta Stone available? I'll try to see into
it myself.

Hi again

I don't see a demo version on the website. Unfortunately, I am using a previous (v2) version that has been 'handed down' to me, so that might not even help anyhoo!
