ALL: Greek alphabet is missing accented characters #43

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a epub which contains greek accented text (for example: 
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/27668, or the attached one)
2. The file will open but most of the accented characters will be missing.
3. Oddly enough, in the main interface some accents do show up.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Accented characters should appear normally, currently boxes/question marks 
appear instead

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Device: PRS-600 
Firmware: PRSP_600_2.0.3preview
Base image: PRSP_600_base_flasher_1.0_by_amutin

Please provide any additional information below.

I am attaching a couple of screenshots demonstrating the problem, and a epub 
containing all greek symbols and their unicode codes. Note that greek does not 
have '?' as a question mark so if it pops up something is wrong.

I got the list of characters from here: 
http://www.bible-researcher.com/greek-unicode.html but not all of them are used 
in modern greek. The ones that are, are in the epub.

1) PRS+ fonts do not cover EPUBs, ADE viewer uses its own fonts, built into 
executable. You can reference system fonts from EPUB using epub css hack, or 
embed them
2) Some Greek chars seem to be missing from PRS+ fonts (those in author names). 
Please create a text file with all Greek letters that you need and identify the 
missing ones. I'll then include them into PRS+ fonts.

Added missing glyphs

Where have the glyphs been added? Should one reflash with the base flasher? 
After upgrading to PRS+ 2.0.10 alpha, accented glyphs still show up as question 
marks.

Glyphs that I've identified (as nobody bothered to post a list) as missing were 
added to 2.0.10 alpha.
They cover user interface, TXT and LRF files.
EPUB fonts are not changeable like that, only with custom CSS.
