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
