Hi Pr2,

 

Thank you for all the useful information.

 

Looking at that keyboard image make me think that the existing French data is looking pretty bad as well.  I will try and fix it and add the Belgian version to the best of my abilities.  When I am ready I will post proofs here for your opinion and correction.

 

There is some similarity between the French and Belgian layouts.  I will have to see if my derivative code can handle the differences efficiently or if I should simply have two tables. 

 

Regards,

Ian.

Hi Persian Prince,

Oops I need to rest sometimes
That was my last update and I think it's good for now

There is a problem with the fa_IR data. There are 18 glyphs that are missing from the Enigma2 fonts. Is this a data error in the table or a font problem?

I have attached what my receiver makes of the current data.

Regards,
Ian.

Your font only shows Arabic characters and Persian has more characters like "پ" (P sound), "چ" (Ch sound), "ژ" (Zh sound), "گ" (G sound).

We use DejaVuSans.ttf which is open source and perfect : https://dejavu-fonts.github.io

I did attach a picture of a normal Persian keyboard, If you want more detailed pictures let me know

Hi Persian Prince,
 
I am working on the French and Belgian keyboard at the moment but I would like to know how your receiver is configured to use the alternate fonts.  Do you just replace the default Regular font with DejaVuSans.ttf?
 
When I get a moment I will try to rework fa_IR to look like the keyboard image you posted.  It would really help if you could have a go at modifying this template yourself to match the keyboard image you provided.  The first two blocks are the English keyboard which seems to match your keyboard image.  The last two blocks should be rearranged into four lines of 14 characters to match the keyboard keycaps.  Use two blocks if some of the characters are on another level of shift.

Hi Pr2,

 

Before I proceed to the Belgian keyboard could you please check and help me correct / complete the basic French keyboard?

	]
]

I have attached images of what this table produces.  There were a number of glyphs I could not identify and I am sure that there are others that I got wrong.  It would be great if you could please help me correct the data table.  (Please use unicode numbers for all changes.  The raw glyphs can be lost or corrupted during editing etc.)

 

Thank you, in advance for any help you can provide.

 

Regards,

Ian.

Hello,

 

When looking at a real belgian azerty keyboard here is what is really printed on it, many characters are there but hidden (and to be honest we never use them).

So I attach something that represent what is really printed on a physical french belgian keyboard. 

 

The other keyboard that I show you with all the possible characters are coming from Ubuntu display keyboard.

Hi Pr2,

 

So I added far more characters than are actually used?  I assume you are suggesting I simplify the keyboard back to the more basic version in the previous post?

 

Regards,

Ian.

[Pr2]

The previous post shows you what is printed in the real life for a belgian french Azerty keyboard.

 

What we use is normal, shift and alt-gr (so the 3 position that you see on keyboard).

The other more complex key press are nearly never used... probably because there are not printed out on the keyboard.

 

So if you goal is to represent a physical keyboard then the last post is the way to go.

[IanSav]

Hi Pr2,

 

It is 4:00AM in the morning here so I will rework the keyboard after I get some sleep.

 

The idea is that the Enigma2 on-screen keyboard should be useful for entering data into Enigma2.  If there are characters that need to be available, even if they are not printed on the keyboard, then I need to know about them so that they can be made available.

 

I will update this thread when I make some more progress after I get some sleep.

 

Regards,

Ian.

Btw - why do you using for Fr all as code when in e2 you can write chars ??? For better human readable ?

 

Example - working Fr ...

But I agree with ims that using the unicode numerical value make the keyboard unreadable for human, so this add complexity.

One of my editors barfed when I tried manipulating a file with embedded glyphs.  Some editors out in the wild can't cope, or don't cope well, with the Unicode glyphs.  Some systems may not have appropriate fonts to resolve the glyphs.  Using the numeric Unicode representation is completely safe everywhere.

Ian.

Hi Pr2,

Thank you for the table review / update.  Unfortunately something has gone wrong as all the Persian glyphs have gone!  I have attached the results generated by that table.

As I mentioned to Ims this way of editing the files is completely safe for all editors and all fonts everywhere.

Please keep in mind that this is only short term pain. Once the tables are complete most users will NEVER look at them again. They will just see the correct glyphs in the correct place on the screen.

(If you do need to manipulate the tables then I find that having the on-screen keyboard on the screen while I edit the table is a good substitute.)

Regards,
Ian.

Well we use my shell script to change all skin fonts to DejaVuSans (My script is good because it will backup the xml files first and if any crashes occur it will restore original xml files automatically) but you can simply rename DejaVuSans to default fonts then replace it. We don't expect PLi changes something because of Persian users only but can we edit current fonts and add extra Persian characters?

PLi's enigma2 doesn't support Persian teletext but DMM's does, I have to fix this myself I guess but as I don't have any enigma2 STB, I can't work on this matter.

[IanSav]

Hi Persian Prince,

 

My OverlayHD skin allows for font substitutions.  That, unfortunately is not a solution for everyone.  If you can find a Unicode based sans-serif font that has ALL the Unicode characters then I would be willing to test it out.  If it is free and functional then perhaps we can get it added to Enigma2.

 

Personally speaking I would love it if the font you find has a "Narrow" design so that text strings are narrow on the screen.  This makes fitting text on the Enigma2 screen much easier.

 

Regards,

Ian.

DejaVuSans is great: https://dejavu-fonts...o/Download.html

 

I did attach "DejaVuSans.ttf" version 2.37 for you, see language cover:

DejaVuSans covers almost everything and it's better than the serif version, you can read DejaVuSans.pdf (PDF sample, version 2.35) which is created by FntSample: http://fntsample.sourceforge.net

 

Also FntSample is available on my github if you want to build it yourself: https://github.com/p...npros/fntsample

Hi Persian Prince,

 

I will add the font to my system and give it a whirl.  If it works out for me I will add it to my OverlayHD skin so all OverlayHD users can also access it.

 

I think the next step forward will be to post a ZIP file of my VirtualKeyBoard changes so that users can give it a try.  Skin developers can also read my notes and prepare for the required skin changes to support the new code.  (The changes aren't difficult.  Also some new images are required but I have created the images at 45x35 and 68x68 pixel resolutions.)

 

Regards,

Ian.

Hi Persian Prince,

 

I have attached images of the current Persian keyboard development.  Are there any errors?  Is anything missing?  Is there anything I need to change?

 

Regards,

Ian.

@Ian,

The problem with the Persian glyphs is probably that when using cut&paste the UTF-8 format of your file is lost.
If you are using Linux you can use iconv or reconv to fix this problem.

By the way I forgot to explain you something about the french keyboard is that:
^ , ¨ , ` are special characters that must be combined with another key (vowel) to have some accentuated characters not immediately available from keyboard.

First press the ^ then press the letter (vowel)

Exemple:
^ a = â
^ e = ê
^ o = ô
^ i = î

¨ a = ä
¨ e = ë
¨ o = ö
¨ i = ï

` a = à
` e = è
` o = ò
` i = ì


I don't know how you can handle this with your virtual keyboard.

It's called "dead keys", from the typewriter days, where the character was printed on the people, but the carriage wasn't advanced so the next key would superimpose the first.

 

Dutch keyboards have the same dead keys (although most Dutch never use it, 99% of all keyboard sold in the Netherlands are en-US).

Hi Pr2,

I didn't use cut or paste due to editor problems.  The table now uses Unicode numbers for every non English glyph.

 

What is wrong with the Persian keyboard?  If you tell me what is wrong I will try to make corrections.

I don't know how you can handle this with your virtual keyboard.

I was thinking about adding a "dead key" facility but decided the code complication wouldn't be worth the effort. Pending acceptability I will simply add the extra glyphs elsewhere on the keyboard.  Are the glyphs above the only ones I have to add?  If there are any others please list them here so I can include them on my next build.

 

Regards,

Ian.
