I don't think there's any particular things on Korean fonts.
But if you look at the fonc.c of pygame there exist clear bugs.
in font_render() function, it use TT_RenderUTF8_... () function to render a unicode characters..
To do that, string must be encoded to utf8 encoding. But if you loot at the code it doesn't use utf8 encoded strings.
if(PyUnicode_Check(text))
{
PyObject* strob = PyEval_CallMethod(text, "encode", "(s)", "utf-8");
char *string = PyString_AsString(text); // <-- 'text' is not utf8 encoded characters.
if(aa)
{
if(!bg_rgba_obj)
surf = TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended(font, string, foreg);
else
surf = TTF_RenderUTF8_Shaded(font, string, foreg, backg);
}
else
surf = TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid(font, string, foreg);
font_size() function have similar but more severe bug. if you call font.size() for unicode characters, it generated SEGV because it mistakenly free 'text' object.
if(PyUnicode_Check(text))
{
PyObject* strob = PyEval_CallMethod(text, "encode", "(s)", "utf-8");
char *string = PyString_AsString(text); // <-- 'text' is not utf8 encoded characters.
TTF_SizeUTF8(font, string, &w, &h);
Py_DECREF(text); // <-- 'text' must be preserved. instead 'strob' must be freeed
I don't understand how you can display japanese characters without problem.
Does these bug exist only in the cvs version?
