 Posted: Thu Sep 08, 2005 11:00 pm Post subject: japanese character support? |
 |
|
hi! i'm developing (well, trying to :-)) a kanji quiz game - it displays the kanji character, and you have to select the proper translation or reading for the kanji.
is there a way to "print" a japanese character? i read the lua doc./wiki pages, and it is rather confusing - at least i didnt get it (quote: "you would need to either manually encode them to UTF-8, or insert individual octets in the correct big-endian/little-endian order (for UTF-16 or UTF-32)" - how do i do this?).
eg, i have the unicode 6771. i'd like to see, printed in the screen, the japanese character that represents "east". |

Since it is so easy to use a tile system with images in lua, I would just suggest using a premade image with the necessary characters. Should be easy enough? :)

| I saw some PSP homebrew app that used real TTF fonts. If someone finds that code, either that person could integrate it into luaplayer him/herself or maybe me or Shine could do it. With that, any character supported by the TTF should be supported by luaplayer. This is a Very Nice Thing ;) (I'm a big Unicode fan) |

This could be done with the freetype lib, which is in SVN. |

Hi! this is my first post.
About:
| Quote: | | is there a way to "print" a japanese character? i read the lua doc./wiki pages, and it is rather confusing - at least i didnt get it (quote: "you would need to either manually encode them to UTF-8, or insert individual octets in the correct big-endian/little-endian order (for UTF-16 or UTF-32)" - how do i do this?). |
I tested encoding a text file in unicode, utf-8 , unicode big endian, and in all cases I couldn't see the japanese text, I mixed roman letters and japanese characters and only got the roman ones in some cases and in others just garbage.
Any ideas how to achieve this in LUA?
I also got the same idea about the japanese game...
Thanks for any ideas.
By the way, I found this : http://lua-gd.luaforge.net/ for Lua, but dunno how can I put it to work in a PSP, or maybe it is not possible? |
