Do you mind translating this to be proper then: https://github.com/PSP-Archive/ARK-4/blob/main/extras/menus/arkMenu/themes/translations/resources/satelite_ru.txt

Translates are very much appreciated :+1:

There is no problem with locale itself, looks like it's font problem

[jeffangelion]

As far as I can see, there is collision between CP866 and CP437 at 0xF1 (code for both symbols), so there are two options:

1. Fix font by adding ё symbol to prevent CP437 fallback
2. Change all ё occurrences by е (still understandable yet incorrect)

However, in CYRIL_B.pf font ё symbol is presented yet it has CP866-incompatible codemap Does anyone know font structure or tool for them?

I believe @pyroesp was investigating the format of the fonts. I'll ask what details are known about them.

[jeffangelion]

AFAIK, .pf font is a raw monochrome bitmap of 16x16 symbols of size 8x8 pixels

[jeffangelion]

I did a small redraw of RUSSIAN.pf to make it CP866 complaint, should I open PR to replace it or add as option? Offtopic: CYRIL_B.pf so gibberish

[jeffangelion]

Okay, I fixed all Cyrillic fonts, gotta make PR by this week

[pyroesp]

I've been working a little bit on a simple font editor as a homebrew for the ARK fonts. Haven't had a lot of time to work on it so it's not yet finished 🙏🏻 .

Thanks for fixing the fonts 👍🏻 .

[jeffangelion]

@pyroesp i made two simple python scripts for pf <-> png conversions, i'll include them in commit message

[jeffangelion]

It works
