@kodbuzz okay we will found a way to make it work 😉

from valetudo_vacuum_camera.

@kodbuzz release 1.5.9-rc1 include a font that can show the Japanese characters

If you confirm it I will use this font as soon I release the 1.5.9 ;)

@kodbuzz thanks as usual, I will try to fix it, as it is a limitation with the characters (I did change the fonts today) would you please double check downloading the Main please?

@sca075 Good evening, since I'm on the latest commit, which was made approx 5hrs ago, it seems that the issue still persists. Btw I'm not certain if Cyrillic alphabets encounter the same rendering issue, shall we test with Cyrillic as well?

@kodbuzz of course if you found a font for it would be appreciated if you could share it so that it will be used. Just as question. Lato was previously working with Japanese?

@sca075 unfortunately no, afaik the "status_text" field has never rendered correctly when it contains Japanese/Chinese characters even in previous versions, It seems like more of an aesthetic issue to me, so I didn't submit the problem in the past few weeks as I was quite occupied too.

@kodbuzz I tested it and it looks Hiragana, Katakana is probably okay but Kanji as well Cyrillic on the status text could be a little challenging but not impossible.. for the time be if we are okay with it will use this font later on probably I can try to implement a menu were to select the language (font) to use for the status test.. will close the issue but open a discussion as usual to keep trace of this idea, thanks again.
