A question about the "NewFontTool"

[xocoder]

First of all.I'm so sorry that my English is bad, but still eager to get an answer, so I posted the problem here and I hope that everyone's help

I downloaded Irrlicht1.6SDK, run NewFontTool, NewFontTool generated xml and bmp files. I loaded them into the program, some text can not be displayed, so I search in the xml file, these words, but not be found. (These words many of which are commonly used word)

Some people encountered the same problem? Please tell us your solution. I would very much appreciate your help

Thank you，B@Z

But the problem is , font has been loaded，and some word can not display , this is my code:

Code: Select all

gui::IGUIFont* font = device->getGUIEnvironment()->getBuiltInFont();
	gui::IGUIFont* font2 =
		device->getGUIEnvironment()->getFont("../../media/ChineseFontSample.xml");

...and some word can not display , ...

maybe you used: ä ö ü ß
instead of that use: ae oe ue ss

For Unicode support you need to apply some patches, otherwise the char mapping can be wrong.

Thanks , hybrid and Yeto

To Yeto:
I'm sorry , There're some garbled words in your replay .I can't read it

To hybrid:
I think Irrlicht 1.6 is support the Unicode,because i find UTFString in the code of Irrlicht 1.6, does Irrlicht realy support the Unicode? or UTFString just a interface for expanding to Unicode？

and..could you post the download URL of the patches? many thanks to you

[hybrid]

Irrlicht does not support UTF in general string handling. Mayn places are already prepared to use encodings, but there's no clean way to do this so far. Please have a look at the Code snippets forum, there's a long thread about TrueType fonts and Asian character sets with all necessary patches.
