Hi,

is there a way to change default font in Zebra to one that supports Cyrillic symbols?

As far as I figured out, default font is Bitstream Vera and it doesn't support Cyrillic by design. So preset names and comments in russian look unreadable. I tried to substitute Vera.ttf in Zebra2.data\Data\Fonts for a different font but it didn't help. Even deleting Vera.ttf doesn't seem to change anything.

Any hints?

This is definitely not a showstopper, though worth making a feature request :wink:

Hi,

The default font on Windows is Lucida Sans Unicode. Vera is supposed to be a fallback font if Lucida isn't present (doesn't always work unfortunately)

The main problem is that I use simple ascii encoding internally. That's fairly old code, I did not expect users who use non-latin character sets back then.

You're raising a good point though. I should make some plans to upgrade everything to full Unicode support...
