I'm trying to use traditional Chinese in the Add Text (TA) tool, but I can't seem to get it to work.
With dimensions, I can select a font that includes Chinese (like the google Noto fonts) , and although I can't directly use a Chinese input method in the qcad application, I can copy/paste Chinese characters (廚房 for kitchen for instance). So dimensions are doable.
With the Add Text tool, though, the font selection is more limited and doesn't include any for Chinese. Is there any workaround to getting Chinese to work here?
BTW I'm running qcad 3.19.2 on 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 (English interface).
Thanks for any help!

Re: Chinese Text?
I cannot reproduce this problem here.
I've installed "Noto Sans CJK TC" under 64-bit Ubuntu and it shows up in the text dialog and I can also create text with it (QCAD 3.19.2).
Please check if you might have configured QCAD to only display a limited range of fonts in the text dialog under:
Edit > Application Preferences > Draw > Text

Re: Chinese Text?
Aha - that was it. Only a limited selection of fonts were displayed. Thanks!

Re: Chinese Text?
My laptop environment:
Debian 10
qcad-3.26.2-trial-linux-qt5.14-x86_64
qt5
fcitx
Only copy some files to the directory as follows:
:~$ cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/* home/user/opt/qcad-3.26.2-trial-linux-qt5.14-x86_64/platforminputcontexts/
Now you can input chinese by fcitx which in the Qcad text dialogue.

Re: Chinese Text?
chenjuanhung: I'm curious as to what files you have in there.
platforminputcontexts contains only these two files here:
libcomposeplatforminputcontextplugin.so
libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so
And they both ship with QCAD.
Thanks.

Re: Chinese Text?
When I had installed qcad which directory "qcad-3.26.2-trial-linux-qt5.14-x86_64/platforminputcontexts/" is empty.
Directory "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/platforminputcontexts/" contains only these two files here:
libcomposeplatforminputcontextplugin.so
libibusplatforminputcontextplugin.so
thanks
