Description Palm Pre 2011-10-16 04:40:43 CEST

Description of problem: 

I tried to set festival to use a different voice. It was difficult and didn't work. 
The site above mention a number of available voices. I see a single  ked_diphone in /usr/share/festival/voices/english. 

Am I missing something?

When you install festival, it asks you to select one of the festvox
files, currently limited to several versions of American English male,
or Finnish male or female.  The Finnish voices will not work on an
english locale system.

From what I can see, those are the only voices available upstream
that work with festival without the MBROLA software, which we can
not distribute due to it's licence.

As the MBROLA software is not in a package supported by mageia, a
bug report is not the place to get help installing it, so I'm going
to close this bug report.

If you need help installing the MBROLA software, or getting it
working, I think the general discussion mailing list would be a
good place to ask for assistance.

Feel free to reopen the bug, if I've misunderstood the situation.
