Title: Problem with extended characters in sci font
Post by: Myst32 on Thu 07/02/2008 22:44:59
Hey everybody.

I was hoping to get some help here.

I have uploaded a screenshot because it's easier then writing a lot of nonsense

I haven't changed ANY thing, I haven't imported any new fonts.
I have a danish xp edition and ofcouse a danish keyboard but I write in english and it says this. And I have done exactly as the tutorial said.

So I'm a tad confused.

The problem seems to be the "'". Try to change "What's" to "What's" or "Whats"and see if the error still occures.

Perhaps that's the problem. I imported a new font right in the beginning so I don't know, but perhaps the default font doesn't support a "'"...

The problem is exactly as the error message says; SCI fonts don't support several characters. The solution is either to use ' rather than `, or alternatively import a TTF (true-type font) to use instead of the default SCI one. There's information in the manual about doing this.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, I properly didn't notice  the ' and ' difference.
I'll check it out.

Also note that the AGS v3.0.1 beta now will compile with foreign characters, but just displays "?" instead of the character when using SCI fonts.
