What special characters does your language use?

[Gilbert]

Why, if you only need a few Chinese characters, just draw them, if you want to complete all messages with it, just forget it for teh time being.

[Gregjazz]

Yeah, I'm going to need complete messages. I probably will only need this in a year or so, so there's no rush. So do you think CJ will implement support for extended characters in TTFs?

[Gilbert]

Not until someone requests it, and the problem was that only very few people would use it at the moment (that can include you and me and orange and probably a few others).
And I'm actually not that interested in it, as I think CJ could spend his time on more important features anyways. Moreover, only very few people (Cj himself not included <-- that's the main problem) would be testing this feature if added, which would produce some risks as it can be buggy and even effect other stuffs in worst cases. So my opinion is that it's probably not worth it, atr least not now.

I'll agree that it may attract more people here though.

[Las Naranjas]

Me want.

[Gregjazz]

But what about the multi-lingual support? A whole section (chinatown) of The Find is in Chinese (with English subtitles at the bottom of the screen).

[strazer]

I have determined that 27 of the first 31 characters could be used for replacing the special characters.

For my font, I decided to use the following:
Ã,,äáâà ãÇçëéêèïíîÃ'ñÖöóôàŸÜüúûù

This covers the following languages:
- English
- Spanish
- Portuguese (or is uppercase àÆ' needed?)
- German
- French
- Finnish
- ...?

Unfortunately, I have just realized that there's no way to treat dialog lines with the conversion function.
So it seems the whole thing won't work after all...Sorry guys.

add Šå, since å, ä and ö are all vital swedish characters

Estonian alphabet is much like english (or standard latin?) alphabet but with 36 letters. We don't use w,x,y but all others, plus some vocals:

Ã,,ä (sounds like 'a' in word 'damn')
Öö (sounds like 'u' in name 'furby')
Üü (sounds like 'y' in word 'typical')
à•õ (?)

and consonants, which are used in only about 20 words
Š š
Žž
Which can be legally replaced with Sh or Zh.
Ool ader kharakters rimein the seim.
Pretty similar to most of other scandinavian languages.
