add support non Latin characters.

In Config File, you can change the default interface font to one that has the character set you want.

See more at https://github.com/zecruel/CadZinho/wiki/Translations.

I take the opportunity to encourage contributions in the translation of the interface.

Hi @johndoe71rus.

The DoidSans.ttf font was not loaded successfully, so the default internal font was used. This is a screenshot of the interface with that font:

The reasons for the font not loading could be:

1. The path indicated in font_path variable must contain the .ttf files directly, without subfolders. In your case the path could look like: font_path = "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DroidSans/"
2. The font name in fonts and ui_font variables needs to be exactly the file name (in Linux it is case sensitive). Usually fonts are named in a family, where each file can have a variation in name, eg DroidSans-regular.ttf or DroidSans-bold.ttf

Font configuration is a topic that needs improvement in CadZinho. The challenge is to define a method that is portable across multiple platforms. Even on Linux, depending on the distribution, there are different paths and settings.

Warning: DroidSans font doesn't support non-latin characters (at least the one I downloaded). As an example, the font NotoSans-regular.ttf with Cyrillic support (I don't know if this is your case):

my DroidSans support Cyrillic

but font path with subfolders.

I wanted to focus on the names of files and folders in explorer

[zecruel]

Try to change fonts_path in config to /usr/share/fonts/droid/

File and folder names in explorer will likely be fixed

[johndoe71rus]

specify an additional path. now it works.

But I think you should consider including subfolders. I looked at 2 different distributions, /usr/share/fonts/ contains subfolders.

You can reduce font size from 11 to 10, to better rendering (I need to improve this too).
