Title: Problem: /comm font doesn't recognize non-English characters Post by: Arael on March 28, 2007, 11:11:08 pm Recently I've decided to pick up the long-abandoned Polish translation project and finally complete the damn thing.
One of the necessary things I need to do is add the Polish characters (ąćęłńóśźż). As far as I know, the procedure is as follows: - find out the codes of the non-English characters - make necessary modifications to the English characters (e.g. o -> ó) and save them under the appropriate file name (243.png in this case) - translate or modify the dialogue text to include the newly-made characters, save it in UTF-8, check for BOM - put the finished characters and dialogue into the appropriate directories of the content.uqm file This is how I did it back in the 0.5.0 version, and it worked perfectly. Fast forward fo 0.6.2: using the above procedure to: translate slides/intro/intro.txt - OK, does not display new characters (as expected) slides/slides.fon - OK, tested, displays perfectly lbm/starcon.fon - OK, displays perfectly - all new characters are displayed in both fonts The problems start: added new characters to comm/urquan/urquan.fon: modified comm/urquan/urquan.txt to include new characters ("Attention ąćęłńóśźż, heed this...") game crashes at the beginning of this text restored urquan.txt - works, nothing broken with English characters changed urquan.txt minimally ("Attention interlóper...") game works, but the new character isn't recognized ("Attention interl" displayed) Oh yes, and I have made the character anew, double-checking everything. No change. So what am I doing wrong? The procedure seems to work (as evidenced by the 2 previous fonts), it used to work in 0.5.0 (on the Kzer-Za font), so what's the problem? Are the fonts handled differently in 0.6.2 or what?

Thanks for making me recreate the file, meep-eep. Title: Re: Problem: /comm font doesn't recognize non-English characters Post by: meep-eep on March 29, 2007, 12:49:42 am When you say "crash", do you mean you got a segmentation fault/general protection fault, or did UQM abort with an error message? The former should never occur, no matter how bad the input file.
