However, it does take some work: a) All fonts sizes and variants need to have glyphs added for cyrillic. Fonts are simply a bitmap (can be edited with GIMP or any other bitmap editor), and a text file that matches the symbols on the bitmap with their Unicode code. We have a font conversion tool that can read those bitmaps and text files, and output the font either as a standalone newRPL object that you can install as a user font, or you can output C code and replace the fonts in the ROM (for a more permanent fix). b) Keyboard maps need to be added so you can type those symbols on-calc. Once more, this can be done altering the default maps in the source code, or through your own custom key definitions, that can be user-installed on the standard ROM. As a bonus, you could also translate error messages (and some other texts) in the source code to have a full ROM customized for your language. But if all you want is to display text in cyrillic in your own programs, a user-installed font and user-installed key definitions should suffice, and you can use the standard ROM (no coding necessary). |
