Hey guys, myself and Simon have been trying to implement unicode.
Here is how we are defining the font:
FONT* GlobalFont = "Arial Unicode MS#16";
We are then reading text from a unicode .txt file and storing the data into a string. But when I display the string on screen the text isn't in Japanese it's just normal Ariel font. Any ideas how to implement it?
my guess is, that the textfile uses a specific chinese font for Western PC's (like I have some Thai fonts you can use to type thai text on western keyboards). In that case you'd have to use that specific font.
Try to open the file in notepad and set the font from notepad to arial unicode and if you see normal characters you know that you are using the wrong font type the text was written in.
