1 Notes on making non-en versions of the images with the same look as the en ones
4 The en images use artificially-compressed versions of Helvetica;
5 the ratio of the compression is not consistent among different images
7 koha.gif Adobe Helvetica Bold 12px 82%
8 Century Sclbk L Bold 15px [substitute; correct font not found]
9 Century Sclbk L Italic 15px [substitute; correct font not found]
10 heading-* Adobe Helvetica 24px 84%
11 inside-* Adobe Helvetica 26px 88.29%
12 menu-* Adobe Helvetica Bold 14px 81.58%
13 [Must resize the *canvas* & leave 12px margin-right]
14 search-button Adobe Helvetica 24px 82%
15 Adobe Helvetica 18px 91%
17 For other images, to determine the ratio of the artificial compression:
19 - Guess the correct font (guess Helvetica for sans-serif)
20 - Using the text tool, type the English text
21 - Guess the font size, repeating guess until the text you type is the same
22 height as the original English text
23 - Measure the width of the original English text
24 - Using the transform tool, determine the width of the text you typed
25 - Based on the above 2 measurements, determine the ratio of the artificial
27 - Delete the English text you typed, and replace it with a translation
28 - Using the transform tool, artificially compress your translated text
29 - Write down the information you find (font name, variant, and ratio of
30 compression) in the layer name and perhaps also here
32 To create the gif files:
34 - If there are supposed to be transparent areas, but need to use a solid
35 background to prevent colour problems with converting to index mode:
38 - Add alpha channel, Add layer mask
39 - Paste (in layer mask), Anchor layer
41 - Image|Color|Threshold| 1-255
45 - If there are no trasparent areas:
49 - If there are transparent areas:
50 - Merge visible layers
51 - Delete all invisible layers (to avoid problems converting to index mode)
