Using the UseNewDefaultFonts command I can display Cyrillic symbols by CreateText(1, "Что-нибудь"), but I can't input Cyrillic symbols into the EditBox it shows something like "ǹǺǻǼǽǾáƄŝǥǦƦň".
Is this a bug?

P.S. I've already posted this issue (19th Jul 2017) but it is still there...

Sorry guys, I've lied.
When I use agk::CreateText(1, "Привет") - I get something like that "ǹǺǻǼǽň"
And when I use agk::CreateEditBox(1);
agk::SetEditBoxText(EditBoxNum, "Приветики");
I get similar result.

But if I put the text into EditBox from the keyboard - everything is fine.

I have this issue only in Tier2.

Could it be the font it's using does not support Cyrillic?

What happens if your Print("Приветики")

I used Cyrillic in my Santa's workshop game without issue using CreateText() never had need to try an edit box though,.

The font works fine when I input text through the keyboard.

agk:: Print("Приветики"); // shows ǽǾáǽƄŝǥǥ

I'm using "template_windows_vs2017".

All my observations are in Teir 1.

Is odd you can type and it's correct, does Print("Hello world") show correct?

Might I suggest trying one these https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto fonts for a sanity check.



In Teir 1 the above prints as expected, but then again even using the default font (i.e not manually setting a different font) Print() displays Cyrillic.

The problem is not in the font. Because the font works well if I input text through the keyboard.

Maybe try adding an additional line of code that forces it to use the default but new font? It sounds to me it is trying to input text that is a string that doesn't actually match the font, even though typing it directly results in the correct Cyrillic.
This can happen when you cut and paste from other fonts I think?

It's weird that this code below actually works in Tier 1, but doesn't function in Tier 2 ;


Maybe it is a bug of some kind.

I can't seem to be able to change font colours of TrueType Fonts at the moment in Tier 1. Not sure what's up with that either.

I think it's something in the AppGameKit (c++) templates.

as ive mentioned in another thread - i loved to have the KataKana characters - but if i try and copy and paste into a string - then agk kicks them out as full squares - because they live in the extended ascii tables of which certain languages doesnt support - only japenese for the katakana

so if your language say is uk then can only have uk asci code availabilties

Guys, guys! You don't hear me.
I said that if I type the text on the keyboard - it's FINE!
It's wrong ONLY if I'm trying to display Russian letters over the code.

Please, see attached file.
Left box - is from code. Right box - I've inputted text from the keyboard.

In the meantime, have peruse at these

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2261496/how-to-write-cyrillic-text-in-c-console

http://archives.miloush.net/michkap/archive/2008/03/18/8306597.html

It seems a unicode issue in C

maybe

setlocale(LC_ALL, "Russian");

by good process of elimination that it works in Tier 1 then its not agk

It is most likely Visual Studio saving your string as ASCII (or something else) instead of UTF-8. To convert it to UTF-8 go to File->Save <file> As... in Visual Studio, on the Save button is a little drop down box, open that up and choose Save with Encoding..., then in the encoding box select "Unicode (UTF-8 without signature)", it will be near the bottom. Then rebuild your project and it should display the correct string in AGK.
