Thai/Korean Language support?

by Samme Ng · in Torque Game Engine · 05/15/2007 (2:24 am) · 4 replies

Is TGE 1.4.2 unicode support Thai/Korean font rendering? I have tried, but just a box appear instead of the character.

Since Thai/Korean belong to complex font class, which combin one or more characters to form a single character, I don't find code in drawTextN handling this.

As I know there is a developer showing Thai language in his screen shot, and I think he is using TGEA. Is TGEA will hande the complex character rendering and TGE 1.4.2 not?

It is critical to decide whether to buy TGEA or not.

Thanks.

Well, after I select another font, such as Tahoma instead of Arial for the text, it shows the character. However, the composition is not correct for Thai font.....

Is Thai font's rendering is specially handled in TGEA?

No one can answer such question? Even the employee?

We are having the same problem with "Right to Left " languages. TGE displays the characters, but in the wrong direction.
We have searched the forums. It seems others have run into the same issue. Hope, someone would provide a solution.

It is amazing that no one, especially "employee", can reply this simple question. Is it too simple?

I have solved the problem by ourselve, just like all other problems with TGE. Now the code support TIS620 and display the font correctly.

Sigh~~~
