Special characters support

Open Guriido opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hello! Really great work with this! I wondered if there is any chance to add special characters (let's say, Japanese characters?) support ? I imagine that the problem may be the access to fonts for those characters. Worth asking though..

The availability of the characters is the hard part. Most games don't have them in their font. For the few that do, it's usually just a matter of being too difficult for me to hook them up, since I can't confirm if they're correct or not.

Whenever possible I'll enable them, or at least leave them in the font images so people can easily do that work later.

What might be nice is having a little box for the special characters that are supported, possibly doable by just enumerating what characters are supported in the font and removing \x20-\x7E, since some have weird characters that aren't easily replaced (like the down arrow in Adv. In The Magic Kingdom)
