Unicode characters dissapearing

[zzart]

Hey, thanks for the addon! It's great. I've discovered on issue though. I have a sketch when every time I hit a key on the keyboard some predefined text (one character at the time) gets printed on the screen using ie. font.drawMultiLineColumn funtion. It works great for US character set , but when it has to print some non US characters ie. "ężćńą" the first stroke clears the entire line and nothing gets displayed , then the second stroke prints line + the unicode character. It's a bit weird so I've attached the screen.

Typing away ... Next key stroke - this should type 'ź' but it clears the line instead Finally after 2nd keystroke the character gets printed

hm are you sure the character input you are getting is right? Can u try loading the non-ascii chars from a file, or hardcoding them in your source code? Otherwise post some of your code and I can have a look

Sorry, same problem here. of0.9.7 + vs2015 + windows 10. I just used the example code and unicode characters won't show up.

Now it works after I change LocaleToUtf8() to a previous version:

string LocaleToUtf8(const string & locale){

int size = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_THREAD_ACP, // code page
							   MB_ERR_INVALID_CHARS, // character-type options
							   locale.c_str(), // address of string to map
							   -1, // NULL terminated
							   NULL, // address of wide-character buffer
							   0) + 1;               // size of buffer


WCHAR * pWideChar = new WCHAR[size];

MultiByteToWideChar(CP_THREAD_ACP, // code page
					MB_ERR_INVALID_CHARS, // character-type options
					locale.c_str(), // address of string to map
					-1, // NULL terminated
					pWideChar, // address of wide-character buffer
					size);                // size of buffer


size = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, // code page
						   0, // performance and mapping flags
						   pWideChar, // address of wide-character string
						   -1, // NULL terminated
						   NULL, // address of buffer for new string
						   0, // size of buffer
						   NULL, // address of default for unmappable characters
						   NULL) + 1; // address of flag set when default char used


char * pUtf8 = new char[size];

WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, // code page
					0, // address of wide-character string
					pWideChar, // address of wide-character string
					-1, // NULL terminated
					pUtf8, // address of buffer for new string
					size, // size of buffer
					NULL, // address of default for unmappable characters
					NULL);     // address of flag set when default char used


string Utf8 = pUtf8;

delete[] pWideChar;
delete[] pUtf8;
return Utf8;

}

Hi, I encountered the same problem. The example works fine. But when I created a new project, and copied and pasted the code in the example, it did not show the unicode characters. Do I need to do some settings? I did not see any suggested steps in your "readme".

Hi, sorry for lllllllate reply. Can you try another Chinese TTF font? I used a '.ttf' font and it worked perfect. And you have to save the file as Unicode (UTF-8 without signature)-Codepage 65001. Hope this can help you.
