Support for french or other accented characters

[maurice]

Does CGapiBitmapFont work with accented character like é and ç?

This is for a french localisation our english game.
Since it is a somewhat older game, it uses gapidraw 1.04.

You are responsible for creating CGapiBitmapFont so it is up to you which characters get included and which are not.

True, but if I put an é in the bitmap and the é in the CreateFont string, will it still work? Since é is above the standaard ASCII limit of 128 characters (é = 233)

maurice: It should work on ASCII character codes up to 255. Please report back if it doesn't.

Hi,

I've exactly the same problem. When I try to use this sequence, it doesn't work :

Code: Select all

1  2  3  4	TCHAR* used_sequence = TEXT(" !\"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~áàâäéèêëìíîïñóòôöúùûü"); m_font2->CreateSurface(GDSURFACE_SYSTEMMEMORY, VFS_Surfaces, TEXT("/Polices/font1.png")); m_font2->CreateFont(used_sequence, TRANSPARENTCOLOR1, GDCREATEFONT_SIMPLEBITMAP, NULL);
	4 lines; 0 keywds; 0 nums; 22 ops; 2 strs; 0 coms    Syntactic Coloring v0.4 - Dan East

For example, the "é" character is not displayed when I use it in a DrawText method. I tried to understand searching answers in previous topics but...

What am I doing wrong ?

I used CreateFont by using GDCREATEFONT_TRACKING (with spacing between characters): It works...
