[armantaherian]

Hey, first of all let me say that your library is amazing. :+1: So, I have a question about Arabic font, how we can use them? Can you help me please?

Hi

Let me use "Hello World" as an example. Not sure whether google translate is right, but this should be this: مرحبا بالعالم

Feeding this into https://r12a.github.io/apps/conversion/ or https://www.branah.com/unicode-converter will generate the following hex sequence: 0645 0631 062D 0628 0627 0020 0628 0627 0644 0639 0627 0644 0645

From these hex codes, you have to replace 06 with \x, which gives (after removing the spaces): \x45\x31\x2D\x28\x27\x20\x28\x27\x44\x39\x27\x44\x45 This is actually what can be printed in the Arduino IDE: u8g.print("\x45\x31\x2D\x28\x27\x20\x28\x27\x44\x39\x27\x44\x45");

I have not tested this, but I hope it will work.

If i ever get finished the next big release for u8glib, it will add support for UTF-8 and unicode glyphs, so that you can directly write: u8g.print("مرحبا بالعالم"); Well.. it is a vision...

Support for UTF-8 would be brilliant!

Thanks, it is finally finished. Can you tell me which Unicode Ranges you need in the Arabic Font? Total number of gyphs can exceed 256.

Thanks, Oliver

Dear Oliver Thanks for your rapid reply

I think for Persian language I need these Unicode 9.0 Ranges of the Arabic Font :

1. Arabic 0600-06FF
2. Arabic Presentation Forms-A FB50-FBB1
3. Arabic Presentation Forms-B FE70-FEFF
