Bert Freudenberg commented on SQ-309:
-------------------------------------

If you mean Sugar, then test for Sugar, not Rainbow. Rainbow is exclusive to the XO, all other Sugar versions do not use Rainbow (yet).

I'm fine with not auto-downloading fonts, just wanted to make sure that's what we want (I thought I still saw download code).

> 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.
