Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 40713
Please add Tibetan to languages in CTL fonts dialouge
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
Tibetan OpenType fonts work in Open Office running under Win XP with up to date usp10.dll installed. Under Format, Character, Fonts "CTL font" Language, AND under Tools, Options, Language Settings, Languages "Tibetan" is not yet included in the list box. Could this be added? [In Microsoft Word (2002 and above) "Tibetan" is available under Tools, Language, Set Language] If you need a Tibetan font for testing one is available at: <http://iris.lib.virginia.edu/tibet/xml/show.php?xml=/tools/tibfonts.xml&l=uva10928423419921> Thank you - Chris Fynn
MRU->SBA: please evaluate.
SBA->FT: Please proceed.
FT->ER: Please add "Tibetan (Bhutan)" and "Tibetan (PR China)" to the list of CTL languages. Thx.
If possible, at the same time could you also please add "Dzongkha (Bhutan)" Dzongkha is the national language of Bhutan and also written in Tibetan script. In Bhutan proper Tibetan is only used by Tibetan refugees living there and by monks & lamas (Classical Tibetan or "Chokay" is the liturgical language of Buddhists in Bhutan). There is a Dzongkha Locale (dz BT) in CLDR. Line breaking rules etc. are the same as for Tibetan. There are differences in spelling and vocabulary. On MS Windows the LCID for Dzongkha is x0851. thank you. Best regards - Chris
I will add them to the language listbox. However, they will only appear in the font attribution dialog and spellcheck, not under Tools.Options language settings and not selectable as a default document language, as we currently don't have locale data available. @Liz: are these resource strings correct? English: Tibetan (Bhutan) Tibetan (PR China) German: Tibetisch (Bhutan) Tibetisch (VR China)
Chris, Please note that Dzongkha (though without the addition Bhutan) is already present as requested in issue 33917. Please note also that MS has not defined any LangID for Dzongkha, the 0x0851 you're referring is Tibetan_Bhutan instead, see also http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/lcid-all.mspx We defined an ID in the user space, 0x0628.

Liz->ER: Thanks, go ahead with English: Tibetan (Bhutan) Tibetan (PR China) German: Tibetisch (Bhutan) Tibetisch (VR China)

Too bad they don't generate the tables in their documentation from a single source to avoid such inconsistency. > We defined an ID in the user space, 0x0628. > Eike regards, Chris
On branch cws_src680_luic: svx/source/dialog/langtab.src 1.56.248.2 svtools/source/config/languageoptions.cxx 1.10.154.1 Comment on the MS-ID: to me it looks a bit like either the .NET team or entire MS or both maybe don't differentiate between Tibetan and Dzongkha, which would be wrong as they are distinct languages.
Ready for QA. re-open issue and try to reassign to oc@openoffice.org
