Re: [bos-dev] implement Chinese?

You'll also need to change the source code so it draws more font characters.

 

#define X 32
#define Y 16

It draws 32 characters per row, 16 rows total.  Find where the Chinese characters are in Unicode and change Y to a much larger value so they get drawn.

What ttf file are you using?  The dejavu font should support all of Unicode which includes Chinese characters.

Thanks! Had to install another library, but then I could finally compile the program and process a font file. Problem is: It only works for the ASCII range, the rest is squares... (result attached - hope this is OK here?)

So, I suppose that Chinese will not be easily supported in BOS Wars?
