Anybody can give me a Russian font.

Help me. I can't create font. When I create it, it doesn't load by engine. May be I do something wrong. But when I create a texture of font, it doesn't contain yellow and red points such as in standart texture (from example) has. Are this points important ?

Thanks to all.

Look in the tools folder of the SDK, there's a font tool in there to create .bmp from .ttf

Here's a Russian font created with the tool in the Irrlicht SDK.
Load the .xml file, not the image file.

A lot of people ask this question, rather than add it to the FAQ I've updated the error message when no dots are found. It now gives the user a hint to load the XML file instead

Have some more trouble ...
this line
menu->addItem(stringw(stringc("Слои").c_str()).c_str(), -1, true, true); doesn't work ...
but line
menu->addItem(L"Слои", -1, true, true); works correctly

"Слои" - some russian text

"Слои" - some russian text

try maybe:

Code: Select all

stringw(L"Слои").c_str()

russian text is Unicode hence cannot be string of c8s (core::stringc) but a string of wchar_t (core::stringw).

Maybe this can help -- http://irrlicht.at.ua/publ/1-1-0-5 -- an article on Russian how to use Cyrillic in Irrlicht.

Chmel_Tolstiy · Post by **Chmel_Tolstiy** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 9:25 am

I wrote my own convert function ... that find russian letters in irr::core::stringc and replace it with wchar_t letter to irr::core::stringw ... any other simbols stay without change.

May be exist simpler way to convert strings ?

As for converting, there is a function mbstowcs or similar, lurk through the docs.
