Hello,

I recently included an option in my launcher app for Brigand: Oaxaca to change the charset, so modders can make translations. The Russian and Chinese translations are going great (see pics below), using charsets 204 and 134. Somebody now wants to translate into Turkish, which is charset 162, but the special characters are not working. The special Turkish characters that don't work are: are "İ", "ü", "ş", "ç", "ö" and "ı".

Has anyone got the Turkish charset working? Thank you for any inkling.

Russian:


Chinese:


Turkish:

I haven't ever tried to do this, due to lack of need.

However character rendering issues are somewhat common when it comes to fonts. Many fonts do not include a full character set.

You might want to check that the font you are using supports these Turkish characters.

Try to isolate the issue buy recreating it in a test project with absolute minimal code. This will make it easier for you to identify the issue and resolution, and easier for you to get help.

Thanks for the reply. I tried out a few different fonts and no luck. The one I use for Brigand is Arial Bold.

I made a simple program to test charsets and attached it. It reads a string from a text file and displays it on screen. It works with other charsets I've tried, but it appears the Turkish charset (162) is just not working.
