Problems with translate

[kolhozzz]

Hi, developers  

Well, i have a problem when translating my game on russian (yes-yes! on russian! ).
I'm triyng to do something with SCI fonts, but bugs catch me again and again. I can't see one of the symbols ( "[" symbol), which I redraw in russian "X". What should I do? I tryied to import TTF fonts, but again there is ugly symbols instead of russian symbols  .

If somebody know who can help me, please tell me! Or if no one can help me with this then give me advice how to create my own TTF (I'll try to create my own font, but i almost lost any hope)...

Sorry for my bad English... Well... You know

you could try to ask lucasfan, his game 'the new adventures of zak mckraken' was translated into russian.

Almost done with translate!
I just download Font Creator and simply draw new fonts instead of ugly symbols. It's working!!!  

Thanks anyway for your reply

Six different fonts. There is instruction in archive.

*If you want create your font...*

Download FontCreator.

1. Correct Sorting (*)
2. Open your Font in two windows

3. Copy symbols #"1040 - 1103" (with multi-select) at window1
4. Select # "192 - 255" at window2 and Paste

5. Then letters 'yo' (e" and E") : 1105 -> 184; 203 -> 168

That's all


***

(*)
1. Tools - Options - choose "Decimal"
2. Overview - choose "Symbol Chars" (at the bottom)
3. Font - Sort Glyphs... - 1st item (Microsoft Unicode) and ОК.

Now symbols are in correct order. 1, ..., 192, 193, 194, ...

***


How does enlarge/reduce symbols?
---------------

1. Tools - Glyph Transformer... - "Outlines" - Scale (add 2 right)

2. Set need % at the bottom (there are 100% and 100% as default)


Have a nice make!

And last...

If you want to translate game, but evil author doesn't want to help you (or smth else), let's game-hack


(ex., Russian-translate)

1. Find AGS-Rus font (see my prev posts)

2. Throw it on the folder with game, rename as "agsfnt1.ttf" (if game use several fonts, you may duplicate file: agsfnt0.ttf, agsfnt2.ttf and etc)

3. By Far Manager open EXE - choose WIN-encoding (F8) and Insert Mode (Insert) [for keeping same bytes of file].

4. Find 1st word from game (from dialog text). And write over your translate.


Attention!!! Don't touch Zero symbol*. It's end of dialog.


[*At the top-right in Far there's ordinal number of symbol; Zero symbol's number is 0]
