Problem with umlaut in game

by amaranthia · in Torque Game Builder · 06/04/2007 (5:38 pm) · 4 replies

I know this is probably really easy, but I've got a little problem...

For some reason, I can't display non-english characters like the umlaut in my game. I've double-checked my font, and it has all of the necessary characters, so there isn't any need for unicode. I took a look at the Torque Localization tutorial, but I'm not using lang files...

Is there a script I need to call when I load the game? Something like populateFonts()?

Thanks much!

Apparently it is not that easy of a problem. I'll be honest, I have no idea of how to fix your problem, but I thought I'd let you know that there are people still looking at the forums. Hang in there!

Kevin, we've got a fix. Bryce found it last night. I'm testing it on my game today and I should have something for everyone tomorrow.

From what Bryce says, the current UTF-8 converter is broken.

Cool, good thing I stopped to help out when I did! ;)

Are you using a UTF8 umlaut or an extended ascii umlaut? Or are you trying to type it?
