Some experiences on the font of the openerp Client

When the client runs by default, it is of course difficult to see, because the normal Chinese font is not used for display.Because the UI of the openerp client is based on GTK, modifying the font of the openerp client is actually modifying the display of Chinese Characters in GTK.

One of the two configuration files under GTK is etc \ gtk-2.0 \ gtkrc, and the other is etc \ pango. aliases.
In a Chinese operating system, you can create a new file named gtkrc. zh_cn instead of modifying gtkrc directly.The content is roughly as follows:

GTK-theme-name = "  MS-Windows  "  GTK -Icon-theme-name = "  Tango  "  GTK -Fallback-icon-theme = "  Hicolor "  GTK -Alternative-button-order = 1 GTK -Alternative-sort-arrows = 1 GTK -Auto-mnemonics = 1 GTK -Show-input-method-menu = 0gtk -Show-Unicode-menu = 0 Style  "  User-font  "  {Font_name = "  Serif 10  " } Widget_class  "  *  " Style "  User-font  "  Widget  "  *  " Style "  User-font  "  GTK -Font-name = " Simsun 10  " 

 

The Custom font style is not popular on the Internet, that is, similar to the following:

 
Style"User-font"{Font_name="Simsun 10"}
 

Why is this so that the system will not receive a warning like this when displaying italics:

Pangowarning: couldn'T load font "simsun italic not-rotated 10", falling back to "sans italic not-rotated 10", CT ugly output.
 

 

How can serif be used in Chinese?This depends on the definition of the font set in pango. aliases.In pango. aliases, find the serif font set and modify it to the following content:

 
Serif ="Times New Roman, angsana new, Microsoft yahei, simsun, mingliu, gulimche, MS Gothic, Kartika, latha, Mangal, raavi"
 

In this way, the English or italic fonts are used, and the Chinese characters are used in the order of ",,.

One thing to note is that the default pango. in aliases, mingliu is all in front of simsun, which makes many Chinese characters in the openerp client look traditional, so you can put all simsun in front of mingliu.
