Hi everybody,
Whenever I try to create a saved game with a Hebrew name, instead of the Hebrew letters I get a ^ sign (i.e. a 7 letter word will appear as "^^^^^^^").
Other issues that involve Hebrew fonts (global messages etc.) work just fine.
Does anybody know how to fix this?
At present the Text Box control only accepts characters with ASCII values between 32 and 128 -- could this be the cause of your problem?
Use Radiant FontEdit to create a Hebrew font for your game, problem solved :)
I'll check that.
(loved your ATO2K, BTW)
Edit: Well, I've tried to use it, but whenever I try to import a font (6 different ones) it returns the message: "Loading TrueType fonts is only partially supported..."
It is. I never got around to writing that part since nobody's ever asked me to (to my knowledge, virtually nobody uses TT fonts within AGS).
There's a few workarounds, for instance FontEdit will import/export fonts to BMP (windows bitmap) files. You can type up something in MS Word, screen capture, and save that to a bitmap. With some creative copy/pasting you can make a font this way in less than an hour.
I see. I think it will be especially complicated with Hebrew, but thanks anyway.
