Carons not displaying (correctly)

16 Nov 2009, 18:35

Hi!

I don't know if this is a Flash issue or what, but I can't seem to get carons to display (they display on frontend like they're missin characters) in my translation of the imagevue. I created my translation file and translated everything OK, even when I open XML file with a code editor everything is encoded OK. Yes, I do use utf-8. If you wonder what carons are, they are a kind of inverted little roofs over letters c, s and z. This is for Slovene language, but other languages have some extras like over r in czech.

You can check out the example at my site http://mali.visoko.si and maybe go to image and hover the download and zoom in button which they appear se pretoi and pribliaj BUT they were supposed to be like pretoÄÂ

Sorry, this is because the specific THEME you are using uses an embedded bitmap font "standard 07_53", which has limited support for special characters.

In this theme, we have located an optional file imagevue/themes/gardener/universal_font.css which you can use instead of the default imagevue.css in that folder. The universal_font stylesheet uses a device font that supports your special caron characters.

oh, right, the font, didn't really think of that :) so how do I use this, do I just swap the filenames or do I need to edit another file (like index.gallery.phtml or similar)

thank you

You dont need to edit any template file - There are two ways to do this:

1. Just log in to FTP, navigate to this theme folder and rename the file "universal_font.css" to "imagevue.css" (of course renaming the original imagevue.css to something else first).

2. Go to your theme settings, and simply change the CSS stylesheet reference field from "imagevue.css" to "universal_font.css". This is the pro solution.

Remember to clear your browser cache after changing, so it doesnt load cached CSS file.
