Hi there everyone!
I've been lurking around here for some time, and while scouting the forums yesterday I've come across a pretty old topic started by some guy (or gal) regarding the Ukrainian language translation. Looks like he or she wanted to create a language add-on but had issues with the fonts. Nyerguds was ready to assist, but the user kinda vanished and never wrote anything back, which is unfortunate. Still, it just so happens that I'm well-versed in both English and Ukrainian, and I've got time to spare, but... eh... got no fonts either, and no idea how to make them myself, which is bad XD Fonts are my worst enemies, like spiders, they're so near, and yet so far, these little files that are always encoded in a way that escapes my understanding, urgh...
Ukrainian shares most letters with Russian, aside from some special characters - it's got these: " І і, Ї ї, Ґ ґ, Є є", and doesn't have these: "Ы ы, Ё ё, Э э, Ъ ъ". Everything else is exactly the same. So, in theory, making a Ukrainian font shouldn't be a lot of trouble, it's not like Japanese or Arabic where there's absolutely nothing to base it on and everything has to be made entirely from scratch. However, in order to do so, you've gotta be smart, and I'm not smart enough. Meaning, I only know about languages, and not font editing... or computers, for that matter. Terrible, I know! On the bright side - I know where the actual text is and how to get it out and put it back in, so there's that.
Anyhow, if anyone could help, I'd be much obliged! I promise, I won't disappear without a trace like that other person did, this translation WILL HAPPEN, unless I spontaneously combust. Or if nobody is able to help me here, which... is more likely to happen, but hey, always hopeful!
Done rambling,
Thanks for reading! ^^
