Unicode issue when displaying Arabic characters

by Ahmed@ · in Torque Game Engine · 12/05/2007 (10:39 am) · 5 replies

I'm trying to display arabic characters but they appear disconnected and in reverse order as shown in the following image. I used the editor to create these characters.

www.javadesert.com/Arabic.JPGTGE 1.5.2, WinXP Pro.

I had a look at the localization page but the L function in the code suggested is not recognized.
echo(L($STR_HELLO_WORLD));

I also tried adding Compile scripts with Unicode BOM header but the problem still persist.

Thanks

Does any body know if TGE1.7.1 has fixed this problem?

TGE1.7.1? Where? ;-)

I can't load the TDN page (Service Unavailable error), but is it possible that you were supposed to write the L function yourself, and that the TDN just game you psuedo-code?
