Localization sounds good. Is it easy to add a new font? How would you go about doing it?

Hi,

adding an new font is possible indeed. You can save your new font definition (xml) into the directory which contains your fonts. Then is becomes available to set as a window's font, or even as a default font through the "View->Set default font" menu item. (After restarting the editor).

Make sure that you specify the glyph information inside the definition file for non-English characters.

Good luck!

Ok, now i have my font in editor, but editor only use 0..127 character of my font, and i can not use 128..255 character in editor.
my font have 0..255 character that i only can use first half of it in editor.

Also i can not find any font setting that can i change character limitation with it .

Maybe limitation is in CELayoutEditor.exe?

Where do you get a font definition xml file from? And the glyphs. What if you just have a TTF file?

Hi,

font definition files are the ones you find in "datafiles/fonts". You need to define a font in such a file to be able to create them non-hardcoded.

About the font settings: please search the forum for "glyphset". This results in topics about "glypsets", "glyphranges", ASCII vs. Utf8* and so on. I'm not a font / unicode guru myself, so i hope this helps.

Good luck both of you!

hey, this is just a shot in the dark, but I was thinking that if the layout editor can't read more than 127 of your font, maybe you should try using the getWindow()->setText("you message here"); from within code. Maybe this will work.

Hope this helps.
