How to make in irrlicht-game Cyrillics(Russian) font?

You must modify IrrFontTool.cpp and recompile for it.

Write your email here and im can send you modified source
code of IrrFontTool for support national languages.

How about posting the code here? It would stop this question being asked again.

I already finished IrrFontTool.cpp and he successfully deduced(removed) in a format .bmp Russian font, but during game instead of Russian letters the squares are shown.

P.S. The text is translated the interpreter.

ok! I've changed the code in irrfonttool and I can get a big texture of 1600 symbol, but how do I change the engine to make it read and display the font?????? please give me a hint!

In order to make it work with russian (and probably other languages) you gotta change some code:

in IrrFontTools:

Code: Select all

	HFONT font = CreateFont(
			-MulDiv(fontSize, GetDeviceCaps(dc, LOGPIXELSY), 72),
			0,
			0,
			0,
			bold ? FW_BOLD : 0,
			italic,
			0,
			0,
			RUSSIAN_CHARSET,
			0,
			0,
			ANTIALIASED_QUALITY,
			0,
			str);

Code: Select all

			case IDC_BUTTON1:
				copyFontToClipBoard(hwndDlg, 1600);
				return TRUE;

In IrrLichtl, in CGUIFont.cpp:

Code: Select all

//! constructor
CGUIFont::CGUIFont(video::IVideoDriver* driver)
: Driver(driver), Positions(1601), Texture(0), WrongCharacter(0)

Code: Select all

ANTIALIASED_QUALITY

Has anyone tried messing with this to get better font quality?

Why I have really strange letters in editbox? The captions are ok in all elements.

Has anyone tried messing with this to get better font quality?

I have, with no success though...

Is it possible to set the antialising quality in Irrlicht and not in the IrrFontTools? That would be a lot faster for me.

I think it is something Niko put in when he does implement it, however I haven't seen any way of getting AA fonts.

support Chinese (or China) in irrlicht fonts?
