     [ http://tracker.immuexa.com/browse/SQ-309?page=comments#action_36433 ]
     
Yoshiki Ohshima commented on SQ-309:
------------------------------------

The attached change set attempts a few things.

- Better font availability check.
- Better comment on the behavior.
- Change the path of the default location for fonts as now resource directory works.  (I assume that we bundle the bitmap font for Korean and Japanese here.  We may change it back to the untrusted directory, if we would let some fonts to be downloaded from net.)

> When staring Etoys, it switches to to the host's locale. If that is e.g. Mongolian it uses that. However, on Mac and Windows we do not support non-latin fonts yet, only on Linux. So the user sees almost only question marks instead of text (see screenshot). Not a nice out-of-the-box experience.
> A possible fix is #SQ-283.
