Hello,
I did a quick search (here and Google) but I couldn't find anything relevant; on the other hand, the forum is a big place, so I didn't search thoroughly. Also, this section seemed good for asking for help so I posted here.
The problem is about running SMath Studio with mono. I used it in Karmic, upgraded (clean install) to Lucid, but I have the same behavior:
The tooltip should show "Număr", just as in "Aritmetică" above. Special characters just won't show up in tooltips and dialogs. The main program, the menus and the help file are OK.
Through the roadmap of fixes, I ended up installing mono-complete, but nothing was solved. This was in Karmic. Now I installed Lucid, clean; "/home" is on another partition, but I used a different username. I tried with and without ".fonts.conf", I changed the locale but everytime it complained about "LC_ALL" not being set up, I tried commenting it out, empty string "", eventually set to UTF-8 just so I wouldn't see the warnings. Nothing worked. This was done in Karmic, too.
I grabbed the sources from their web-page, compiled as the manual said, nothing. I ran the program from the console with "LC_ALL=C mono ...", even with "LC_ALL=ro_RO.UTF-8 ...", but it only complained about not supporting the codepage and falling back to "C"; the same happened for ISO-8859-2 and CP1250, even if I have them in locale. Also, running the bare command gave the warning: "Could not get Xim". I started iBus, made according settings, it stopped complaining but the result was the same.
Right now, I'm a step away from making use of a crowbar. In the SMath's forum, I asked the developer about it but he showd me a screenshot and worked. He has openSuse which, as I understand, has 2.6 version of mono. That was what made me try to compile it myself (with the above result).
So, there you have it. If there's anyone who can help, please don't hesitate, you would spare a computer's life that way...
Regards,
Vlad.
