I am working on the text writing part of my game. I used the NeHe code for writing text (the good old wglUseFontBitmaps stuff).
As long as I write chars which exist in English, there is no problem. But I want to make a text displayer routine, that I can use if I want to write spec French or Hungarian chars (like ŐőúűŰóÓ etc.).
I’ve already read a topic about this in the forums, but it was only a French solution. If I increase the list above 200
(base = glGenLists(224); - remember NeHe? )
I get only a few special chars working (like őŐ), but there are still some, that aren’t displayed (like óÓ).
I read the text from a TXT file created with the Notepad app.
I even tried with EASTEUROPE_CHARSET and UTF8 format. Nothing. I used Times New Roman (which has all the chars), but still nothing.
Could someone tell me, how I can display “language-specific” chars?
Thank you
PS.: pls do not ask me to create my own font
