Post by: on Fri 17/02/2006 01:59:57

I know about this.

But there is in true-type font in AGS's Font only ONE font.

There isn't Russian font.

I don't know how I can to import font with Russian font too.

And I try to write in "english" Russian: "Vse, kruto! Privet!"

But it's non-readable. =(

I did this.

The AGS Editor takes only English part from Import font.

And Russian symbols convert to abracadabra.

The interesting fact - when I save the text ("Make Translation Source"), it's all right, with russian language. But in the game is an abracadabra only.

I imported Times New Roman.

Maybe if you import a true type font with fonts for both alfabeths (latin and cyrillic)

The only problem here is that, maybe, there are not enough keys on a keyboard for this, but you could use a true type font with the capital letters for lattin letters and lower case letters for cyrillic.
Of course, I don't mean to use only latin capital letters and cyrillic lower case letters, but using each group to represent the two alphabets.

The disadventage of this is that you can't make distinction in capital letter o lower case in any alphabet, but that's a little sacrifice.

The question then is: Where can you fine that true type font? Don't know, the fastest way is making your own true type font.

Of course, there is another way, another long a bored way, but easier. And it is to import two true type fonts: one for latin alphabet and another for cyrillic. Then you set the main font each time you need to use one of them.

I hope this helps you.
