Hello all,

I have a problem with the display of the Russian language in the game. Under Windows, english and russian text is displayed, but the iOS Simulator and iPad displays only English letters. Please help me with this problem.

You need to show how you are selecting Russian instead of English letters.

Are you using different font image files?

If so, are you sure that the file names are exactly the same as the ones you use in your code? In Windows, it doesn't care about difference in case (uppercase vs lowercase). But every other operating system does. So, if the case for the actual file name is different from what you use in your code, it won't be found on iOS devices (even the simulator).

In the same line, there are Russian and English letters. I using one font image file for English and Russian. The file name is correct. I read the text from the file and print it on the screen. File encoding - UTF8. I use the function:

m_iImageExtendedFont = agk::LoadImage ( "Data/Textures/Fonts/font_2.png" );
agk::SetTextExtendedFontImage ( id, iImageExtendedFont );

Russian text not show, but English - show correct.

Can you provide a sample of the Russian text? Are you sure that the letters all map to ascii values between 0 and 255 (the extended set should be getting you the characters from 128 to 255)?

Is any of the Russian text showing up at all?

Yes, but in Windows displays all the letters.

I have attached an example of text and extended image font.

Well, your font file isn't correct.

It should only contain, at most, 128 characters.

The font files are only good for 128 characters. Starting either from ascii 0 or ascii 128.

It is permissible to have fewer than 128 characters. But AppGameKit does not expect a font file to have more.

I'm quite surprised that it works in Windows. But, then the Windows implementation may be a bit more flexible.

Second, are you that you added the font file (with its text map) to the Resources in your Xcode project? That is usually the most common problem about not seeing the expected images on an iOS device.

Hi,

But I set the exact position of the letters. Number should not matter.

I just reread the description for SetTextDefaultExtendedFontImage and it sounds like it should only care about the number in the text file.

That may be the case, but your code isn't working. Without looking at more of your code, I can't tell if there is some other issue.

Try breaking your file into two and see if that solves the problem.

You didn't answer my question about whether you added the font file and the text map to your project resources. And, if you did, did you keep the same directory structure 'Data/Textures/Fonts' in the Resources folder in you Xcode project?

I solved the problem with Russian. I wrote a text file from which I read the text in the format 10007 (MAC - cyrilic). It worked. Only there is no capital letters, but I do not matter now. Lady thanks for the help.
