Cherokee fonts in applications?

I have a default install in English with the Noto Cherokee fonts also installed.

I have a text file with the cherokee letters that do not show in Pe, Jed, LibreOffice or cat “file” in terminal.

I’m not seeing any Cherokee font in here, how did you install it?

Welcome, tsesani!

FWIW, if I download one of the Cherokee fonts and put it e.g. into /boot/system/non-packaged/data/fonts/ttfonts/, I see the font in StyledEdit, Appearances, Pe’s and LibreOffice’s fonts.
I don’t have a file containing Cherokee letters, so I can only assume it’s working…

They were installed by one of these haiku packages.

Welcome to the Haiku shell.

You can right-click on the font and then select, get information (not in Enlgish here so I don’t know the correct sentense).
In the information window you would see in the third tab what package is providing it.

noto_regional-20200106-1-any.hpkg

It’s in the Noto Regional font set. It seems to be mostly working on my machine.

Does Cherokee syllabary - Wikipedia show OK for you

It doesn’t render properly inside of WebPositive but I can copy and paste the text into Pe and change the font to Noto Sans Cherokee - Regular and it shows up.

Edit: If I set WebPositive to use that font as default then the page renders properly.

Thank you, changing font in Pe works for me.

Changing this in Web+ wasn’t quite to it’s liking :slight_smile: But after a restart it seemed to be ok.

Currently the font “fallback” system to select various “regional” fonts is hardcoded in app_server and filled manually. We can add an automatic attempt to use Noto Cherokee there if the selected font does not contain the needed glyphs.

Any plans for translating Haiku and its applications in Cherokee? :smiley:

translating all of Haiku, probably not
I just like knowing certain things work

In Terminal and for Jed it’s Terminal set font to unifont.

I had just not run across this until today.

Thanks to all.
