Description of problem: blender supports internationalization since 2.6. I have compiled blender myself, and the internationalization work is good. I can change to "Traditional Chinese" language via checking International Font option in File > User Preferences > System dialogue, then select Traditional Chinese and check Interface and Tooltips. However, the version distributed by Fedora cannot take the advantage of blender 2.6 features. If you open a terminal to launch blender, it will print out the message below: BLF_get_unifont: 'fonts' data path not found for international font, continuing Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):2.63a-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch blender 2. check "International Font" option in System tab of File > User Preferences dialogue 3. select Traditional Chinese as the language 4. check "Interface" and "Tooltips" to translate them into localized ones Actual results: You see many characters in supported language list are displayed as squares. And nothing happened after you applied the localization changes. Expected results: The internationalization work of blender should work fine out of box. Additional info:
blender-2.65a-1.fc18.x86_64 provided by fedora does not support internationalization feature still.
In blender-2.65a-1.f18, if "international" being checked, the characters in the program will disappear instead of diplaying as squares in Fedora 17. Attachments are screenshots.
