Use Japanese text in "clickable desktop"

tkgon

Hello. I just tried to create a sample app that contains Japanese text. I am able to have the text display properly on my Ubuntu Mobile device, but on the clickable desktop preview the Japanese text shows up garbled.

Is there a way to install Japanese fonts (or whatever is needed) on the clickable desktop?

If it is of any help, for I use clickable 7.1.0. I tried with both HTML5 and Python/QML.

@tkgon are you using i18n.tr() for your strings ?

@lduboeuf Thanks for the answer. Yes, I do use i18n.tr(...). Trying it without this, results to the same thing. But as mentioned, the display is fine on my actual device. I guess, the clickable desktop environment lacks some fonts or so.

@tkgon yes probably, you can add the dependencies in your clickable file i guess with "dependencies_target"

@lduboeuf I was able to solve it via clickable.yaml config file. For reference my config file:

clickable_minimum_required: "7"
builder: pure-qml-cmake
kill: qmlscene
dependencies_target:
- language-pack-ja
- japan*

Documentation for config file

Maybe the dependencies can be optimized, but for now it does the job.
Again thanks @lduboeuf
