Font converter - non ASCII characters
Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2013 10:23 am
I'm working on a piece of software that needs to be able to display Chinese text. I was hoping to use the font converter to generate the bitmaps but there seems to be a bug in that it won't accept character numbers outside the normal ASCII range.
Chinese characters use two-byte values as there are several thousand of them.
If you try entering a range outside the normal 32-225 it doesn't even work out the matrix size properly.
Is there any way around this?
Also, is there any way to tell it to just convert one particular type - not sure what the correct term is - but just normal text, or bold or italic, but not all of them? I know it is easy enough to delete what you don't need but it would be nice to not convert them in the first place.
