 |
|
Hi,
I'm new to Lua in general and I wish to develop a game for the psp.
My first pb is when I try to write characters with accents on screen (I'm french, so I'd like to write éèàê and so on).
So I'm using that code:
| Code: | | screen:print(150,150,"é") |
and all it does is printing 2 little vertical lines.
I tested different things without success (using fonts, replacing with the \ddd notation etc), so I thought I would come here and ask. If this cannot be done I would know it in no time...
Thanks. |

| Hmm... If you load a true type font that supports the characters needed, it might let you use the other characters like "é". If that doesn't work, you could try using a bitmap font that supports characters like "é". (Bitmap font will be a little harder) |

| I've settled on typing up my text in paint and blitting the image; it works better for me for more than one reason as far as my app is concerned. |

| Don't know if people are still interested in this, but I'm working on that problem using "Bitmap Font Builder". I'm developping a lib in Lua to recognize those characters and generate a bitmap of the text for you to blit. I'm just afraid this will be slow I don't know. |
