Hi,

I'm evaluating Laszlo for a client. One of the must-have requirements is Chinese/any language support. So far I haven't been able to display any Chinese characters. Help is definitely needed. (I'll post another message to detail what I have been doing, unsuccessfully.)

Another requirement is to templatize the whole UI system, i.e., use Java-like resource-based messages for labels and other static text. I understand that I can easily use a XML dataset for that; but, say, in the case of Chinese, I may have to specify a particular font (e.g., "simsun.ttf"); how do I associate locale-specific info like this, preferably in a config/properties file, so that when the system is deployed to another country, all I need to do is simply change the locale setting in the deployment?

Thanks,
-James Huang
