Well, if you really want you can alter the shinonome font to get half-width characters.
On our repository look in lib\shinonome\kanjic\font_src.bit and search for “STARTCHAR 2721”
The mapping is defined here: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/GUS/Unicode-UTF8simple-1.06/gb2312.txt.
First char is “0x2721=>0x0410, # CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER A”, last char is “0x2771=>0x044F, # CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YA”
You also have to change
DWIDTH 12 0
BBX 12 12 0 -2to
DWIDTH 6 0
BBX 6 12 0 -2And then upload the modified file and we will recompile the player for testing.
(or do it yourself by running “generate_cxx_font.rb” and then recompiling the Player)
GNU GPL is bad because we plan switching to a different license later.
Edit:
There are actually smaller cyrillic characters in kanjip\font_src_diff.bit. Not half width either, but around 8. Hm, using them will need a change in our font renderer because we hardcode on 6 or 12 pixel width and has already too many width to fit on the msgbox…
