Font Plugin

The purpose of this plugin is to provide a number of Unicode fonts which to be used by the charting functions within SiT!. Without this plugin charts which contain non Latin characters contain 'strange'/incorrect characters this is due to GD using the built in font which contains only Latin characters.

This plugin makes it possible for the correct font to be used on a per user basis. by reading the language they are using to use SiT! and using the relevant font.

With this plugin we aim to support all the languages which SiT ships with a translation for so currently we ship with the following fonts:

Font	Languages
LiberationSans-Regular.ttf	en_GB,en-US,ru-RU,cy-GB,fr-FR,nl-NL,it-IT,es-MX,es-ES,es-CO,de-DE,da-DK,sl-SL,pt-PT,pt-BR,lt-LT
wqy-zenhei.ttc	sh-TW,zh-CN
VL-PGothic-Regular.ttf	ja-JP
