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