Thread: [Tutorial] Unicode fonts on Touchpad for Vietnamese language!!

Thanks! Xterminater...It worked but now fonts on touchpad menu messed up. Can't read title on some of the button...is there a way to backup/restore or change touchpad font?

So you posted the thread here, I thought you would post in tinhte.vn, haha, waited for a while. I am going to make a unicode Prelude font this or next weekend (not so sure). Will be glad if you can test it. Check update in tinhte

Hi Xterminater,

Thanks for your great instruction and your time to prep the fonts. I followed exactly step by step and everything worked great. Just have a quick question for you. Would it be possible that I can delete the folder HPbackupunicodefonts in the hp touchpad or do I have to keep the folder for the touchpad to function. Once again, thank you very much for your help.

Does anyone know how to type Vietnamese "đánh chữ có dấu" like that on TP?

you can't because there are no inputs layout for it.

WHen I can not copy fonts to usr/share/fonts. it prompts "filesystem read only" and I am a root user. How can it happen ? THanks.

Can you explain "no input layout" thanks.

Hello Xterminator. I am confused step 4 and 5. Please show me a completed commandline when you paste. I am not a linux. thanks,

Hi, i'm trying to install vietnamese fonts for my touchpad. since the megaupload site is now closed, where else can i get the Unicode fonts ? Thanks in advance

Hi blacklouse, I read very little Vietnamese but i'm helping to configure a Touchpad for the daughter of my Vietnamese friend. Is Prelude304 the right font file to use for Touchpad with 3.0.5 version webos ?

Thanks !

Where else could I go for the fonts? Thanks

If you want to type Vietnamese you download file frome this link

http://www.box.com/s/rcobf701tv2bepp337go
and copy file text-edit-autoreplace to replace file in this location
/usr/palm/smartkey/XT9/DefaultData/autoreplace/en_us
and then copy folder en_us to here
/usr/palm/smartkey/XT9/DefaultData/autoreplace-hc/
and then restart HP touchpad
this way from tinhte.vn

Anyone got a working link for the Unicode font package? MU is dead....

Sao không dùng Tiếng Việt mà nói chuyện nhỉ?

For those interested, fonts can be found here and instructions too. http://www.tinhte.vn/threads/819453/

cp media/internal/HPbackupunicodefonts/*.* usr/share/font does not work or am I missing something.
I don't see hobackupinicodefont folder
so what's the command telling me to do, copy from or to share/font.

Nevermind, i found out that "HPbackupunicodefont" means your own font xxxxx.ttf. It's working now but not 100%. Some are still square even after I add reg, italic, and bold. Now just need the keyboard layout.
