INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
--------------------------
(Note that conflicts may arise if you already have other versions
of the relevant libraries installed in your Windows directory).
This should work under all recent versions of Windows (XP or later);
however on many systems, it is necessary to use the pen to start xournal
for these features to be available in xournal, or at least tap the pen to
the screen before starting xournal. (Check that Options -> Use XInput is
available and checked; if it is grayed out the wacom driver is not active).
If you would like to use a language other than English (among the
limited number of available translations), arrange for the LANG
environment variable to be set to the appropriate two-letter code.
(For instance, set LANG=fr)
Note that there may be issues with accessing files located in folders
whose path contains non-English characters (accents etc.); if you
encounter difficulties, move the files to a different folder before
editing them.
* KNOWN ISSUES
There are various known issues; the worst ones relate to text items,
fonts and printing.
- If xournal seems to hang the first time you create a text item, just
be patient: the fontconfig library on which xournal maintains a cache
of system fonts, and on Windows the creation of the cache can take
several minutes. Once the cache is created, things should run smoothly.
- Some fonts may not print well or export to PDF well. If you have
trouble with File -> Print, try Export to PDF instead; and vice-versa.
If neither works well, try using different fonts.
