[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Unicode and asciidoc?

[Jane Sandberg]

Hi Rogan and Robert,

Thanks for your help.  The documentation is in English with an example
in Czech.  Changing the language I pass to a2x would not be
appropriate, as it uses Czech names for all the sections of the book
(e.g. Part I becomes Část I) and the diacritics still don't work (so
Part I actually becomes #ást I). :-(

I will explore fonts to find one that has the correct glyph, but I'm
wary of requiring machines to have one particular font installed
before they can compile the documentation.  Thoughts?

  -Jane

The documentation includes some examples of PO files, including a háček (the diacritic that you see above the "c" in the word háček).
