[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Unicode and asciidoc?

[Soulliere, Robert]

HI Jane,

The fonts will need to be installed on the documentation processing server. I manage that server. I wonder if you could go ahead and commit the docs if everything else is OK and I will configure the fonts and test as needed once the docs are pulled onto the server.


Thanks,
Robert

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).
