Tux Paint Config.
As of Tux Paint version 0.9.14, a graphical tool is available that
allows you to change Tux Paint's behavior. However, if you'd rather not
install and use this tool, or want a better understanding of the
available options, please continue reading.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration File
You can create a simple configuration file for Tux Paint, which it will
read each time you start it up.
The file is simply a plain text file containing the options you want
enabled:
Linux and Unix Users
The file you should create is called ".tuxpaintrc" and it should be
placed in your home directory. (a.k.a. "~/.tuxpaintrc" or
"$HOME/.tuxpaintrc")
System-Wide Configuration File
Before this file is read, a system-wide configuration file is read.
(By default, this configuration has no settings enabled.) It is
located at:
/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf
You can disable reading of this file altogether, leaving the
settings as defaults (which can then be overridden by your
".tuxpaintrc" file and/or command-line arguments) by using the
command-line option:
--nosysconfig
Mac OS X Users
The file you should create is called "tuxpaint.cfg" and it should be
placed in your home folder, under the sub-folder: Library/Application
Support/TuxPaint
System-Wide Configuration File
Before this file is read, a system-wide configuration file is read.
(By default, this configuration has no settings enabled.) It is
located at:
/Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/tuxpaint.cfg
Windows Users
The file you should create is called "tuxpaint.cfg" and it should be
placed in Tux Paint's folder.
You can use NotePad or WordPad to create this file. Be sure to save
it as Plain Text, and make sure the filename doesn't have ".txt" at
the end...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Available Options
The following settings can be set in the configuration file.
(Command-line settings will override these. See the "Command-Line
Options" section, below.)
fullscreen=yes
Run the program in full screen mode, rather than in a window.
fullscreen=native
Run the program in full screen mode. Additionally, assume the
screen's current resolution (set by the operating system).
windowsize=SIZE
Run the program at a different size (in windowed mode) or at a
different screen resolution (in fullscreen mode), rather than
the default (usually 800x600).
The SIZE value should be presented in pixels, in
'width-by-height' format, with an "x" (lowercase X) between
the values. The size can be anything that's at least 640 wide,
and at least 480 tall.
Some examples:
* 640x480
* 1024x768
* 768x1024
* 1600x1200
orient=portrait
Swaps the width/height options given to Tux Paint, useful for
rotating the window on portait displays, such as a tablet PC
that's in tablet orientation.
native=yes
When running Tux Paint in fullscreen mode, this assumes the
screen's current resolution (overriding any "windowsize"
option), as set by the operating system.
allowscreensaver=yes
By default, Tux Paint prevents your system's screensaver from
starting up. You can override this by using the
"allowscreensaver" option. Note: This requires version 1.2.12
or higher of the SDL library. (You can also do this by setting
the "SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER" environment variable on your
system to "1".)
nosound=yes
Disable sound effects. (Note: Pressing [Alt] + [S] cannot be
used to reenable sounds if they were disabled using this
option.)
noquit=yes
Disable the on-screen "Quit" button and prevent the [Escape]
key from quitting Tux Paint.
Using the [Alt] + [F4] keyboard combination or clicking the
window's close button (assuming you're not in fullscreen mode)
still works to quit Tux Paint.
You can also use the following keyboard combination to quit:
[Shift] + [Control] + [Escape].
noprint=yes
Disable the printing feature.
printdelay=SECONDS
Restrict printing so that printing can occur only once every
SECONDS seconds.
printcommand=COMMAND
(Linux and Unix only)
Use the command COMMAND to print a PostScript format file when
the 'Print' button is clicked. If this option is not
specifically not set, the default command is:
lpr
Note: Versions of Tux Paint prior to 0.9.15 sent PNG format
data to the print command (which defaulted to
"pngtopnm | pnmtops | lpr").
If you set an alternative printcommand in the configuration
file prior to version 0.9.15, you will need to change it.
altprintcommand=COMMAND
(Linux and Unix only)
Use the command COMMAND to print a PostScript format file when
the 'Print' button is clicked while the [Alt] modifier key is
being held. (This is typically used for providing a print
dialog, similar to when pressing [Alt]+'Print' in Windows and
Mac OS X.)
If this option is not specifically not set, the default
command is KDE's graphical print dialog:
kprinter
printcfg=yes
(Windows and Mac OS X only)
Tux Paint will use a printer configuration file when printing.
Push the [Alt] key while clicking the 'Print' button in
Tux Paint to cause a Windows print dialog window to appear.
(Note: This only works when not running Tux Paint in
fullscreen mode.) Any configuration changes made in this
dialog will be saved to the file "userdata/print.cfg", and
used again, as long as the "printcfg" option is set.
altprint=always
This causes Tux Paint to always show the printer dialog (or,
on Linux/Unix, run the "altprintcommand") when the 'Print'
button is clicked. In other words, it's like clicking 'Print'
while holding [Alt], except you don't need to hold [Alt] every
time.
altprint=never
This prevents Tux Paint from ever showing the printer dialog
(or, on Linux/Unix, run the "altprintcommand") when the
'Print' button is clicked. In other words, it makes the [Alt]
key have no effect when clicking the 'Print' button.
altprint=mod
This is the normal, default behavior. Tux Paint shows a
printer dialog (or, on Linux/Unix, runs the
"altprintcommand"), when the [Alt] key is pressed while the
'Print' button is clicked. Clicking 'Print' without holding
[Alt] prints without showing a dialog.
papersize=PAPERSIZE
(Platforms that use Tux Paint's internal PostScript generator
— not Windows, Mac OS X or BeOS.)
Tell Tux Paint what size PostScript to generate. If none is
specified, Tux Paint first checks your $PAPER environment
variable, then the file /etc/papersize, then uses the the
'libpaper' library's default paper size.
Valid paper sizes include: letter, legal, tabloid, executive,
note, statement, a0, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10,
b0, b1, b2 b3, b4, 10x14, 11x17, halfletter, halfexecutive,
halfnote, folio, quarto, ledger, archA, archB, archC, archD,
archE, flsa, flse, csheet, dsheet, esheet.
nolockfile=yes
By default, Tux Paint uses what's known as a 'lockfile' to
prevent it from being launched more than once in 30 seconds.
(This is to avoid accidentally running multiple copies; for
example, by double-clicking a single-click launcher, or simply
impatiently clicking the icon multiple times.)
To make Tux Paint ignore the lockfile, allowing it to run
again, even if it was just launched less than 30 seconds ago,
enable this setting in the configuration file, or run
Tux Paint with the '--nolockfile' option on the command-line.
By default, the lockfile is stored in "~/.tuxpaint/" under
Linux and Unix, and "userdata\" under Windows.
simpleshapes=yes
Disable the rotation step of the 'Shape' tool. Click, drag and
release is all that will be needed to draw a shape.
uppercase=yes
All text will be rendered only in uppercase (e.g., "Brush"
will be "BRUSH"). Useful for children who can read, but who
have only learned uppercase letters so far.
grab=yes
Tux Paint will attempt to 'grab' the mouse and keyboard, so
that the mouse is confined to Tux Paint's window, and nearly
all keyboard input is passed directly to it.
This is useful to disable operating system actions that could
get the user out of Tux Paint [Alt]-[Tab] window cycling,
[Ctrl]-[Escape], etc. This is especially useful in fullscreen
mode.
noshortcuts=yes
This disable keyboard shortcuts (e.g., [Ctrl]-[S] for save,
[Ctrl]-[N] for a new image, etc.)
This is useful to prevent unwanted commands from being
activated by children who aren't experienced with keyboards.
nowheelmouse=yes
This disables support for the wheel on mice that have it.
(Normally, the wheel will scroll the selector menu on the
right.)
nobuttondistinction=yes
Prior to Tux Paint 0.9.15, the middle and right buttons on a
mouse could also be used for clicking. In version 0.9.15, it
was changed so that only the left mouse button worked, so as
to not train children to use the wrong button.
However, for children who have trouble with the mouse, this
distinction between the two or three buttons on a mouse can be
disabled (returning Tux Paint to its old behavior) by using
this option.
nofancycursors=yes
This disables the fancy mouse pointer shapes in Tux Paint, and
uses your environment's normal mouse pointer.
In some enviornments, the fancy cursors cause problems. Use
this option to avoid them.
hidecursor=yes
This completely hides the mouse pointer shapes in Tux Paint.
This is useful for touchscreen devices, such as tablet PCs.
nooutlines=yes
In this mode, much simpler outlines and 'rubber-band' lines
are displayed when using the Lines, Shapes, Stamps and Eraser
tools.
This can help when Tux Paint is run on very slow computers, or
displayed on a remote X-Window display.
sysfonts=yes
This option causes Tux Paint to attempt to load fonts (for use
in the Text tool) from your operating system. Normally,
Tux Paint will only load the ones that came bundled with
Tux Paint.
alllocalefonts=yes
Prior to version 0.9.21, Tux Paint loaded all fonts in its own
fonts directory, including locale-specific ones (e.g., the one
for Tibetan, which had no latin characters). As of 0.9.21, the
only font loaded from the locale-specific subdirectory, if
any, is one matching the locale Tux Paint is running on.
To load all locale-specific fonts (the old behavior), set this
option.
nostamps=yes
This option tells Tux Paint to not load any rubber stamp
images, which in turn ends up disabling the Stamps tool.
This can speed up Tux Paint when it first loads up, and reduce
memory usage while it's running. Of course, no stamps will be
available at all.
nostampcontrols=yes
Some images in the Stamps tool can be mirrored, flipped,
and/or have their size changed. This option disables the
controls, and only provides the basic stamps.
nomagiccontrols=yes
Some Magic tools have the option of acting like a paintbrush,
or affecting the entire canvas at once. This option disables
the controls, and only provides the default functionality
(usually paint-mode).
nolabel=yes
Disables the Label tool: the tool that allows text entry which
can be edited later.
mirrorstamps=yes
For stamps that can be mirrored, this option sets them to
their mirrored shape by default.
This can be useful for people who prefer things right-to-left,
rather than left-to-right.
mouse-accessibility=yes
In this mode, instead of clicking, dragging and releasing
(e.g., to draw), you click, move, and click again to end the
motion.
onscreen-keyboard=yes
Presents a clickable on-screen keyboard when using the Text
and Label tools.
onscreen-keyboard-layout=LAYOUTNAME
Selects the initial layout for the on-screen keyboard when
using the Text and Label tools.
Note: Using this option implies automatically
onscreen-keyboard=yes, so setting both is redundant.
onscreen-keyboard-disable-change=yes
Disables the possibility for changing the layout of the
on-screen keyboard when using the Text and Label tools, useful
for simplifying things for the small children.
Note: Using this option implies automatically
onscreen-keyboard=yes, so setting both is redundant.
joystick-dev=N
Specify which joystick device should be used by Tux Paint.
Default value is 0 (the first joystick).
joystick-slowness=SPEED
Sets a delay at each axis motion, allowing to slow the
joystick. Allowed values are from 0 to 500. Default value is
15.
joystick-threshold=THRESHOLD
Sets the minimum level of axis motion to start moving the
pointer. Allowed values are from 0 to 32766. Default value is
3200.
joystick-maxsteps=STEPS
Sets the maximum pixels the pointer will move at once. Allowed
values are from 1 to 7. Default value is 7.
joystick-hat-timeout=MILLISECONDS
Sets the delay after wich the pointer will start moving
automatically if the hat is keeped pushed. Allowed values are
from 0 to 3000. Default value is 1000.
joystick-hat-slowness=SPEED
Sets a delay at each automatic motion, allowing to slow the
speed of the hat. Allowed values are from 0 to 500. Default
value is 15.
joystick-btn-escape=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be used to generate a escape event. Useful to dismiss dialogs
and quit.
joystick-btn-brush=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to select the brush tool.
joystick-btn-stamp=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to select the stamp tool.
joystick-btn-lines=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to select the lines tool.
joystick-btn-shapes=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to select the shapes tool.
joystick-btn-text=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to select the text tool.
joystick-btn-label=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to select the label tool.
joystick-btn-magic=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to select the magic tool.
joystick-btn-undo=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to the undo tool.
joystick-btn-redo=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to the redo tool.
joystick-btn-eraser=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt for selecting the eraser tool.
joystick-btn-new=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to launch the dialog for opening a new draw.
joystick-btn-open=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to launch the dialog for opening an existing
draw.
joystick-btn-save=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt for saving the draw.
joystick-btn-pgsetup=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to launch the page setup dialog for printing.
joystick-btn-print=BUTTON NUMBER
Selects the joystick button number, as seen by SDL, that will
be a shortcurt to print.
joystick-buttons-ignore=BUTTON1,BUTTON2,...
A set of joystick button numbers, as seen by SDL, that should
be ignored. Otherwise, unless they are used by one of the
"joystick-btn-" options above, buttons will be seen as a mouse
left-click.
stampsize=SIZE
Use this option to force Tux Paint to set the starting size of
all stamps. The SIZE value should be between 0 (smallest) and
10 (largest). The size is relative to the available sizes of
the stamp, which depends on the stamp itself, and Tux Paint's
current canvas size.
Specifc "default" to let Tux Paint decide (it's standard
behavior).
keyboard=yes
This allows the keyboard arrow keys to be used to control the
mouse pointer. (e.g., for mouseless environments, or
handicapped/accessibility purposes)
Features:
* Fine movement within canvas, or coarse movement if
[Shift] is held.
* Coarse movement within tool button areas.
* Key controls:
* [Left]/[Right]/[Up]/[Down], numpad [1] thru [9]:
Move mouse
* [Space]/[5]: Click mouse (except when using "Text"
or "Label" tools)
* [Insert]/[F5]: Click mouse (always)
* [F4] jump mouse between "Tools", "Colors" and canvas
areas
* If mouse is within "Tools" section on the left, or
"Colors" secton at the bottom:
* [F7], [F8]: Move down/up between buttons,
respectively (Tools section, only)
* [F11], [F12]: Move to previous/next button,
respectively
* To click-and-drag, hold one of the 'click' keys (e.g.,
[Insert]), and use the movement keys (e.g., [Left]).
* Note: The "mouse accessibility" feature works with
the keyboard mouse controls. With both options
enabled, painting tools can be used to draw by
pressing a 'click' key to start clicking, movement
keys to move around (which will draw), and another
'click' key to end the click (stop drawing).
* A regular mouse and/or joystick may still be used (so you
can, e.g., move with the mouse, and click with the
keyboard, or vice-versa)
savedir=DIRECTORY
Use this option to change where Tux Paint's "saved"
directory/folder is located, which is where Tux Paint saves
and opens pictures.
If you do not override it, the default location is:
* Linux & Unix — Under a hidden directory named ".tuxpaint"
in your home directory (aka "~" or "$HOME")
Example: "/home/username/.tuxpaint/saved/"
* Windows — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
"Application Data" folder.
Example:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\TuxPaint\saved\"
* Mac OS X — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
"Application Support" folder.
Example:
"/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/saved/"
Note: When specifying a Windows drive (e.g., "H:\"), you must
also specify a subdirectory.
Note: Prior to version 0.9.18, Tux Paint would also use the
setting or default for "savedir" as the place to search for
personal data files (brushes, stamps, starters and fonts). As
of version 0.9.18, they may be specified separately (see the
"datadir" option, below).
Example: savedir=Z:\tuxpaint\
datadir=DIRECTORY
Use this option to change where Tux Paint looks for personal
data files (brushes, stamps, starters and fonts specific to
the current user).
Tux Paint will search for subdirectories/subfolders named
"brushes", "stamps", "starters" and "fonts" under the data
directory.
If you do not override it, the default location is:
* Linux & Unix — Under a hidden directory named ".tuxpaint"
in your home directory (aka "~" or "$HOME")
Example: "/home/username/.tuxpaint/brushes/"
* Windows — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
"Application Data" folder.
Example:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\TuxPaint\brushes\"
* Mac OS X — Inside a folder named "TuxPaint" in your
"Application Support" folder.
Example:
"/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/TuxPaint/brushes/"
Note: Prior to version 0.9.18, Tux Paint would use the same
setting or default as for "savedir" to search for data files.
As of version 0.9.18, they may be specified separately.
Note: When specifying a Windows drive (e.g., "H:\"), you must
also specify a subdirectory.
Example: datadir=/home/johnny/tuxpaint-data/
saveover=yes
This disables the "Save over the old version...?" prompt when
saving an existing file. With this option, the older version
will always be replaced by the new version, automatically.
saveover=new
This also disables the "Save over the old version...?" prompt
when saving an existing file. This option, however, will
always save a new file, rather than overwrite the older
version.
saveover=ask
(This option is redundant, since this is the default.)
When saving an existing drawing, you will be first asked
whether to save over the older version or not.
nosave=yes
This disables Tux Paint's ability to save files (and therefore
disables the on-screen "Save" button). It can be used in
situations where the program is only being used for fun, or in
a test environment.
autosave=yes
This prevents Tux Paint from asking whether you want to save
the current picture when quitting, and assumes you do.
startblank=yes
This causes Tux Paint to display a blank canvas when it first
starts up, rather than loading the last image that was being
edited.
colorfile=FILENAME
You may override Tux Paint's default color palette by creating
a plain ASCII text file that describes the colors you want,
and pointing to that file using the colorfile option.
The file should list one color per line. Colors are defined in
terms of their Red, Green and Blue values, each from 0 (off)
to 255 (brightest). (For more information, try Wikipedia's
"RGB color model" article.)
Colors may be listed using three decimal numbers (e.g.,
"255 68 136") or a 6- or 3-digit-long hexadecimal 'triplet'
(e.g., "#ff4488" or "#F48").
After the color definition (on the same line) you may enter
text to describe the color. Tux will display this text when
the color is clicked. (For example, "#FFF White as snow.")
As an example, you can see the default colors currently used
in Tux Paint in: "default_colors.txt".
NOTES: You must separate decimal values with spaces, and begin
hexadecimal values with a pound/number-sign character ("#").
In 3-digit hexadecimal, each digit is used for both the high
and low halves of the byte, so "#FFF" is the same as
"#FFFFFF", not "#F0F0F0".

Overriding System Config. Options using .tuxpaintrc
(For Linux and Unix users)
If any of the above options are set in
"/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.config", you can override them in your own
"~/.tuxpaintrc" file.
For true/false options, like "noprint" and "grab", you can simply say
they equal 'no' in your "~/.tuxpaintrc" file:
noprint=no
uppercase=no
Or, you can use options similar to the command-line override options
described below. For example:
print=yes
mixedcase=yes

--saveoverask
--save
--noautosave
These options can be used to override any settings made in
the configuration file. (If the option isn't set in the
configuration file(s), no overriding option is necessary.)
-------------------------------------
--locale LOCALE
Run Tux Paint in one of the support languages. See the
"Choosing a Different Language" section below for the locale
strings (e.g., "de_DE" for German) to use.
(If your locale is already set, e.g. with the "$LANG"
environment variable, this option is not necessary, since
Tux Paint honors your environment's setting, if possible.)
--nosysconfig
Under Linux and Unix, this prevents the system-wide
configuration file, "/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf", from
being read.
Only your own configuration file, "~/.tuxpaintrc", if it
exists, will be used.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Command-Line Informational Options
The following options display some informative text on the screen.
Tux Paint doesn't actually start up and run afterwards, however.
--version
--verbose-version
Display the version number and date of the copy of
Tux Paint you are running. The "--verbose-version" also
lists what compile-time options were set. (See INSTALL.txt
and FAQ.txt).
--copying
Show brief license information about copying Tux Paint.
--usage
Display the list of available command-line options.
--help
Display brief help on using Tux Paint.
--lang help
Display a list of available languages in Tux Paint.
--joystick-dev list
Display list of attached joysticks available to Tux Paint.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Choosing a Different Language
Tux Paint has been translated into a number of languages. To access
the translations, you can use the "--lang" option on the command-line
to set the language (e.g. "--lang spanish") or use the "lang=" setting
in the configuration file (e.g., "lang=spanish").
Tux Paint also honors your environment's current locale. (You can
override it on the command-line using the "--locale" option; see
above.)
Use the option "--lang help" to list the available language options
available.

(*) - These languages require their own fonts, since they are not
represented using a Latin character set, like the others. See the
"Special Fonts" section, below.
Note: Tux Paint provides an alternative input method for entering
characters with the Text tool in some locales. The key comibation(s)
listed can be used to cycle through the supported input methods
while the Text tool is active.
Setting Your Environment's Locale
Changing your locale will affect much of your environment.
As stated above, along with letting you choose the language at
runtime using command-line options ("--lang" and "--locale"),
Tux Paint honors the global locale setting in your environment.
If you haven't already set your environment's locale, the following
will briefly explain how:
Linux/Unix Users
First, be sure the locale you want to use is enabled by editing
the file "/etc/locale.gen" on your system and then running the
program "locale-gen" as root.
Note: Debian users may be able to simply run the command
"dpkg-reconfigure locales" as root to bring up a configuration
dialog. Ubuntu users may be able to run
"sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf" (the "localeconf" package may
need to be installed first), or may need to edit the file
"/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local" first, and add locales they
want, from the list found in "/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED".
Then, before running Tux Paint, set your "$LANG" environment
variable to one of the locales listed above. (If you want all
programs that can be translated to be, you may wish to place the
following in your login script; e.g. ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc,
~/.cshrc, etc.)
For example, in a Bourne Shell (like BASH):
export LANG=es_ES ; \
tuxpaint
And in a C Shell (like TCSH):
setenv LANG es_ES ; \
tuxpaint
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Users
Tux Paint will recognize the current locale and use the
appropriate files by default. So this section is only for people
trying different languages.
The simplest thing to do is to use the '--lang' switch in the
shortcut (see "INSTALL.txt"). However, by using an MSDOS Prompt
window, it is also possible to issue a command like this:
set LANG=es_ES
...which will set the language for the lifetime of that DOS
window.
For something more permanent, try editing your computer's
'autoexec.bat' file using Windows' "sysedit" tool:
Windows 95/98
1. Click on the 'Start' button, and select 'Run...'.
2. Type "sysedit" into the 'Open:' box (with or without quotes).
3. Click 'OK'.
4. Locate the AUTOEXEC.BAT window in the System Configuration
Editor.
5. Add the following at the bottom of the file:
set LANG=es_ES
6. Close the System Configuration Editor, answering yes to save
the changes.
7. Restart your machine.
To affect the entire machine, and all applications, it is
possible to use the "Regional Settings" control panel:
1. Click on the 'Start' button, and select
'Settings | Control Panel'.
2. Double click on the "Regional Settings" globe.
3. Select a language/region from the drop down list.
4. Click 'OK'.
5. Restart your machine when prompted.
Special Fonts
Some languages require special fonts be installed. These font files
(which are in TrueType format (TTF)), are much too large to include
with the Tux Paint download, and are available separately. (See the
table above, under the "Choosing a Different Language" section.)
Note: As of version 0.9.18, Tux Paint uses the "SDL_Pango" library,
which utilizes the "Pango" library to render text in the user
interface, rather than using "SDL_ttf" directly. Unless your copy of
Tux Paint was built without Pango support, special fonts should no
longer be necessary.
When running Tux Paint in a language that requires its own font,
Tux Paint will try to load the font file from its system-wide
"fonts" directory (under a "locale" subdirectory). The name of the
file corresponds to the first two letters in the 'locale' code of
the language (e.g., "ko" for Korean, "ja" for Japanese, "zh_tw" for
Traditional Chinese).
For example, under Linux or Unix, when Tux Paint is run in Korean
(e.g., with the option "--lang korean"), Tux Paint will attempt to
load the following font file:
/usr/share/tuxpaint/fonts/locale/ko.ttf
You can download fonts for supported languages from Tux Paint's
website, http://www.tuxpaint.org/. (Look in the 'Fonts' section
under 'Download.')
Under Unix and Linux, you can use the Makefile that comes with the
font to install the font in the appropriate location.
