ANN: poEdit 1.1.10 released

Hello,

I had released new version of poEdit, 1.1.10. As usual, you can 
download it at http://poedit.sf.net . If you are using 1.1.9, upgrade 
is strongly recommended, because there was a serious bug in previous 
release (poEdit forced UTF-8 encoding on catalogs in many 
situations).

Regards,
Vaclav Slavik

How to change font in poeditor

Hi  slavik,

I tried to use poedit on linux and it works fine for
my language, Tamil. Thanks you very much. The main
advantage that i see for poedit is its win32 port. 

However i've problem in using poedit on win32 for my
language. Only Tamil fonts will display tamil
language. In poedit i don't see any option to change
the font used. Where do i change the font?

Also i want to localise poedit to my language Tamil.
How do i go about this. Can you send me the *.pot file
for poeditor for me. 

A commonly used tamil font is
here..http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tscii/files/Avarangal/tscava.ttf
In windows we normally use keyman based utility for
keying in our language. The utlity is here..
http://www.tamil.net/newtamil/software/eKalappai.exe
This also comes with the above font.

For testing tamil language choose any file from this
page..http://www.mandrakelinux.com/l10n/ta.php3 or in
the KDE page, linked from there...

Cheers.,
Prabu

Nowhere (not yet, anyway) -- poEdit uses system default font, i.e. the 
one used by Windows for common GUI elements (menus, dialogs, ...) in 
all apps.

You can find them either in source code tarballs at sourceforge.net or 
in CVS (you can use the WWW interface, see my other message to 
poedit-users).

I really want to recommened to a lot of users for
tamil translation, however win32 version is unusable.
In linux this works great because my default font is
tamil font.
Will this "change font " be added in a future version.
I think this will enable many languages like ours
which does not have full support in Windows..

Which should give you a hint about where the real problem is :) 
Seriously, is there no way to change Windows' system-wide font 
setting to use your font?

> Will this "change font " be added in a future version.

The trouble is that it brings some non-trivial problems on non-Unicode 
platforms (like, I assume, yours, because you shouldn't have such 
problems under Win2k or XP). For example, poEdit uses encoding 
reported by the OS for both output and _input_ and I really have no 
idea how would it convert entered text into UTF-8 (which it uses 
internally) if the encoding reported by OS is not what you use in 
your Tamil font (I assume the encoding will be misreported because of 
lack of Tamil l10n of Windows...).
