Summary:碩士 === 朝陽科技大學 === 資訊管理系碩士班 === 90 === Abstract Many drawing software cannot display Chinese in the drawing area for Linux. To solve the "Displaying Chinese Problem" within Linux, we employ the concept of embeded Chinese which allows the drawing softwares to display Chinese successfully. Our method also provides the graphic user interface(GUI for short) to contort, font name, font size, and color setting. With these functions, the disadvantage of command mode interface has been removed, and our interface makes user work more comfortable with Linux. For Linux, many free software have released the source code and make the presentation of Chinese using I18N. However, implementing I18N is no easy task. With I18N, the development is time-consuming and corresponding process too long. In the thesis, our method is an alternative to reduce the development time for people who need to use these software now. For non-free software (software whose source code is either unavailable or may not be modified), people cannot even apply I18N. Our method is the only choice if users need to use Chinese version of these software. In this paper, we also use Perl language to implement a conversion program and apply it in three drawing softwares: QCad, POV-Ray, and Geomview. The detailed analysis and the result of experiment is also given. The practical usefulness of this program and its relatively short development time shows the value of our method.
