[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 694665] Re: Square blocks shown instead of translated strings in some areas (when language is set to marathi)

[Espreon]

Note that for any hope whatsoever of having the affected GUI elements
render devanagari, the Devanagari plane needs to be covered by fonts.cfg
(which is in data/hardwired/fonts.cfg) and there needs to be a font that
has devanagari glyphs in the game's fonts directory.

So, do the following:

1. Put a font with devanagari glyphs in the game's fonts directory.

2. Append the font's filename to the order= list in fonts.cfg.

2. Append the font's family name to the family_order= list in fonts.cfg.

3. Put this after the last [font] codeblock before "#ifdef
FOR_COMPATIBILITY_SAKE":

[font]
    name="<filename>"
    codepoints=2304-2431
[/font]

4. Restart the game and take a look

Even then, I'm not sure if GUI1 can properly shape devanagari. I guess
I'll try this out myself and see what happens.

Title:
  Square blocks shown instead of translated strings in some areas (when
  language is set to marathi)

Status in “wesnoth-1.8” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: wesnoth-1.8

  I am taking a look at translated UI of Wesnoth and also trying to do
  some of my own translations. The language of translations is Marathi
  (mr_IN.UTF-8). The problem is that I see square blocks in some areas
  of game instead of translated strings. This seems to be mostly affect
  action widgets (where I click mouse) such as menus, buttons etc. There
  is no problem in translation display for labels such as story
  narration, unit descriptions, dialogs etc.

  Please find attached the screenshots. One shows problem while other
  doesn't. Please note that translation strings shown here are not
  present in original package. But the issue is seen with the strings
  available in package also (specifically 'Actions' menu after starting
  a campaign).
