I know that 3DGS doesn't currently support Unicode It does ,but before I purchased the engine, I emailed Conitec about this and they assured me that it was possible. see? Does anyone know how this is possible? The application I'm developing require the use of the asian language. Well, first you need to use TrueType fonts and not Bitmap fonts. (before you ask: Look under "FONTS" in the manual) Second, the font must be Unicode compatible (Like Arial Unicode for example) and third, the customer needs to have that font installed, if necessary make the installer/setup program install it. I'd like to know if this is possible or did I choose the wrong engine? As you can see, you didn't, as it is possible.

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.

This is how it looks:  Here is my code:
var filehandle_n;
STRING* strUNICODE = " ";
TEXT* testing_text =
{
pos_x = 0; pos_y = 0; red = 0; green = 0; blue = 0; layer = 99;
font = GlobalFont; string (" "); flags = FILTER | VISIBLE;
}
function testing_startup()
{
str_cpy(gString,"LoadThisString.txt");
filehandle_n = file_open_read(gString);
if (filehandle_n != 0)
{
file_str_read(filehandle_n,strUNICODE);
}
file_close(filehandle_n);
str_cpy((testing_text.pstring)[0],strUNICODE);
}

try copying your text file into a TEXT*. if this does work, then it has something to do with file_str_read.
