System font used in some messages #472

Hi, thanks for the link - great site with nice fonts! Regarding the locale setting: Unfortunately there is no application setting to change the locale - you would have to change your phone's locale to Japanese to show fonts correctly. |
I see! Certainly, it is better to have good romaji and ocassionally a bad kanji :) Regarding the Locale, I read that it can be selected with http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setTextLocale%28java.util.Locale%29 but it may limit the Android version that Aedict can run on. I'm not an Android developer, I cannot help you there :( |
This is interesting, thanks for letting me know. I did not know that the TextView.setTextLocale method exists. It is indeed limited to Android 4.2 and higher, but I can simply not call this function on Android 4.1 and older, so it should be possible. I'll play with this and I'll let you know. |
It works ;) Fixed in Aedict 3.16, please reopen if there are still some texts (besides the topmost Action Bar) on Android 4.2 and higher which do not render JP characters correctly. |
Thank you! I'll try as soon as I can update it :) |
Hi again :)

I was playing with the custom font (from http://www.freejapanesefont.com/ , a very nice place to get fonts!) and it works great :) however, using a different font it is easy to spot where it is not being used. I found two places:
When searching, in the message "Searching 直る":
And if there is Japanese in the English translations. I suppose this is harder to fix because using the custom font for the whole message would be ugly (Latin characters in Japanese fonts usually are ugly and monospaced). For this it may be useful to set the Locale of the application to Japanese, but I don't know if doing this will force a 4.x version of Android:

Regards.
