Hello,
I already did a bit of Research on this Topic but it seems there is no satisfying solution yet.
I just want to use special letters, called umlaut in a game.
Äöü
Now I already know that GE doesn't allow these letters in it's own script editor. But the ttf files I'm using are from my computer and as far as I know they do support these letters.
So I did try something that was written in another thread, just use them and assume the blanks appear as the correct letters in the game. Well, didn't work, in the game the letters were still blanks.
Then I tried a workaround.
To write something like: "Ich möchte dich küssen.(i'd like to kiss you)"
I wrote this script:
Sprintf(text_out,"Ich m%cchte dich k%cssen.",148,129);
Where 148 and 129 are the ASCII code for ä and ü.
It did work for some letters, but not for ä,ö,ü.

What can I do ?

you can make your own font sheet and replace something you don't need like } with ü

I worked some time now on a bitmap font and I'm quite frustrated. While i can fit in now the missing letters, the font itself is horrible.
I tried several font generators and most of them did not deliver fixed width fonts.
Still the font looks horrible. (But that is not a GE Issue).
If anybody can point me to a fixed width generator capable of
- generating a font
- fixed width
- in one line
- based upon the usual ttf's
- export as picture (png, for ex.).
- Without the need to manage each individual letter.

i would be very happy. No generator i found delivered this.

I'm still working on it. At least i made a tiny bit of progress.
Thank you,
