Bert Freudenberg updated SQ-890:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: ruPatches.cs
                LiberationMono-Regular.ttf
                etoys-ru.jpg

Nikolay Suslov provided a changeset (attached). He writes:

As the first step, I just take the needed changes from Squeak 4.1 base image (which I used in Krestianstvo project).
The screenshot, changeSet and Cyrillic test font are attached.

To activate Russian language just do:

1. File in the change set.
2. Drop to the image the attached font (LiberationMono).
3. Set the default fonts:

|font|
font := TTCFont family: 'LiberationMono' size: 12.
Preferences setListFontTo: font.
Preferences setMenuFontTo: font.
Preferences setCodeFontTo: font.
Preferences setButtonFontTo: font.
Preferences setSystemFontTo: font.
Preferences setWindowTitleFontTo: font.

font := TTCFont family: 'LiberationMono' size: 9.
Preferences setBalloonHelpFontTo: font.
Preferences setHaloLabelFontTo: font.
Preferences setEToysFontTo: font. 
Preferences setFlapsFontTo: font.
Preferences setPaintBoxButtonFontTo: font.
StrikeFont setupDefaultFallbackFont.

4. Switch to Russian from top menu or execute:

LanguageEnvironment resetKnownEnvironments.
Locale switchToID: (LocaleID isoLanguage: 'ru').

But Russian letters are typed in English locale just fine also, but it is needed to use the right font.

I have not check the potential problems in EToys functionality that may arise after filing the change set. But, for me I have not found any visible faults. 

Regards,
Nikolay
