"COMPLETAS" text is not showing properly
Miss that patch from VigasocoSDL's latest version https://github.com/luzbel/VigasocoSDL/commit/a5ece07e0bdeb99cb2c28c0bc139e165feee6597
Well for the moment I made a small class to replace the whole set of characters in the rom to use True Type Fonts. It's far better and will make it easier to include new languages, but I still need to understand how the original code works to just replace it with my custom printf function.
Feel free to ask about the code here. I don't have all the knowledge original author (Manuel Abadia) has , but definitely can help here.
Main issue here is text is not mapped character by character. In the original cpc code, "-" character is used to display "PL" on screen. So, the text in ROM is not "COMPLETAS" but "COM-./>"
If you feel confortable with spanish comments (don't you?) , there is a detailed explanation in the commmit.
If you are going to translate to TrueType Fonts, keep in mind:
- maybe you need to modify texts and change "COM-./>" to "COMPLETAS" and modify code to avoid special treatment for those special characters
- be sure you have enough space in screen. "COMPLETAS" doesn't fit with the embedded font displaying character by character
