Description Edward Karavakis 2008-02-20 12:25:20 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080208 Fedora/2.0.0.12-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.12

Description of problem:
Greek language is not displayed correctly - wrong font used? problem with the encoding? 

Seems that ~/.glest/data/lang/glest.ini is not ported to Linux. Strangely, there is even a windows registry file to fix the Greek language problem on Windows.
Also, the Font used is invalid.


# cd ~/.glest/data/lang
# cat glest.ini |grep "Font"
FontConsole=Verdana Greek
FontDisplay=Verdana Greek
FontMenu=Verdana Greek
# cat glest.ini |grep Platform
Platform=Windows
# ls -la *greek*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4273 2008-02-13 01:28 greek.lng
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  388 2008-02-13 01:33 verdanagreek.reg



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glest-3.1.0-1.fc8 glest-data-3.1.0-1.fc8

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start glest
2. go to options
3. change language to greek

Actual Results:
stange characters instead of greek characters

Expected Results:
Greek lang should work

Seems like that the fix only works on Windows (there's a windows registry file as well).
  
# cd ~/.glest/data/lang
# cat glest.ini |grep "Font"
FontConsole=Verdana Greek
FontDisplay=Verdana Greek
FontMenu=Verdana Greek
# cat glest.ini |grep Platform
Platform=Windows
# ls -la *greek*

Hi, sorry for not responding earlier.
I believe this problem is not packaging-related, you'd be better off reporting
it to the glest forums on glest.org
If you feel diffrently, please reopen this bug report.
