5.1. | The background picture does not appear. |
You need to configure with the | |
5.2. | I do not hear any sounds |
You need to have aRts support and the aRts daemon needs to be running. Make sure you compiled kdelibs with aRts if you compiled KDE. In any doubt, ask your distribution. You can also check if aRts is running in KDE Control Center -> Sound & Multimedia in the Sound System tab. There you must make sure that Enable the sound system is checked. For KDE 3.4 users, you must also be sure that the player used to play KDE sounds is the default KDE sound system player. See in KDE Control Center -> Sound & Multimedia the System Notifications tab, click on the button on the bottom right and in the dialog please check Use the KDE sound system. | |
5.3. | I do not see some letters on the icons on the special toolbar. I see rectangles instead for some languages. |
KLettres in Czech and Slovak needs Arial and if you do not have this font installed, please ask your distribution support how to install it. If you have Windows® on your machine, you can use the TTF fonts from Windows® (Arial is in those) via KDE Control Center -> System Administration -> Font Installer (click on and add the Windows® Font folder). | |
5.4. | The letters on the icons on the special toolbar are too small for some languages. |
KLettres in Czech and Slovak needs Arial and if you do not have this font installed, please ask your distribution support how to install it. If you have Windows® on your machine, you can use the TTF fonts from Windows® (Arial is in those) via KDE Control Center -> System Administration -> Font Installer (click on Administrator mode and add the Windows® Font folder). | |
5.5. | Why are there only ten languages? |
In order for me to add a new language, I need the sounds for the alphabet and some basic syllables. Someone speaking natively the new language must record these sounds in wav, mp3 or preferably, ogg format. For levels 3 and 4, the syllables must be chosen by a teacher or someone who knows how children learn: these must be the syllables you have to learn just after the alphabet in order to learn well the basics of this language. Please send me a mail if you are able to do that. See the KLettres website for detailed instructions on how to add a new language. |
