Dear,

I create a custorm font like:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<MyGUI type="Font">

.......

<Font name="seogui.17" default_height="17" source="SEGOEUI.ttf" size="19" resolution="50" antialias_colour="false" space_width="4" tab_width="8" cursor_width="2" distance="6" offset_height="0">

    <Code range="0 255"/>   

    <Code range="259 7928" />

</Font>

</MyGUI>

then i load this font into my app like:



MyGUI::Gui::getInstance().load("Connect.layout");

MyGUI::WindowPtr wCn = MyGUI::Gui::getInstance().findWidget<MyGUI::Window>("ConnectWindow");

wCn->setFontName("seogui.17");

wCn->setCaption("Đang kết nối...");  //expected text

As a result, i have a window with caption is:

It appears that the font doesn't apply to window caption.

I found a web page which describes a vietnamese font encoding in detail but i don't know how to put these code ranges into font definition file.
This is the link:

so if anyone know about unicode fonts, pls post your idea to assist me in using vietnamese font in MyGUI..

Thank you so much !

hi, thanks

My result is:

I test this font with font demo from MyGUI. Demo font displays:

so what i was wrong ? in fact i don't clearly understand how to define a unicode font in "core_font.xml", espcially, "Code range ?" "Code hide ?"

With Vietnamese encoding at:
http://www.vovisoft.com/unicode/utilities/VietEncoding.htm

and (which i should use ?)
http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/charset/

I re-define my font, called "nguyendu", in "core_font.xml" like:



........

<Font name="nguyendu" default_height="17" source="UVNNguyenDu.ttf" size="19" resolution="50" antialias_colour="false" space_width="4" tab_width="8" cursor_width="2" distance="6" offset_height="0">

    <Code range="32 127"/>

    <Code range="192 195"/>

    <Code range="200 202"/>

    <Code range="204 205"/>

    <Code range="210 213"/>

    <Code range="217 218"/>

    <Code range="221"/>

    <Code range="224 227"/>   

    <Code range="232 234"/>

    <Code range="236 237"/>

    <Code range="242 245"/>

    <Code range="249 250"/>

    <Code range="253"/>

    <Code range="258 259"/>

    <Code range="272 273"/>

    <Code range="296 297"/>

    <Code range="360 361"/>

    <Code range="416 417"/>

    <Code range="431 432"/>

    <Code range="7840 7929"/>

  </Font>

.........................

then re-test in font demo, but nothing better !
