Asian font support?

by Will Cain · in Torque Game Engine · 08/08/2006 (9:56 pm) · 3 replies

Does Torque have Asian font support? Is any additional software required for, say, Windows XP? Evaluating Torque as a platform for multilingual games.

Thanks!!!

It has support for it, though as I understand it there are a few minor things you have to do to use it properly.

I personally know that you need to turn on asian font support in Windows XP. Here's a comprehensive website: http://newton.uor.edu/Departments&Programs/AsianStudiesDept/Language/asianlanguageinstallation_XP.html

Torque supports unicode, so you'll be able to utilize the asian fonts within the game. But remember, you need to enable your computer to see the fonts correctly. (I had to set up my laptop so that I could read many of the emails I was receiving from asian developers.)

Ok, that makes sense. I've had to do that with other Windows applications.

Thanks!
