From: hazP on 7 Jul 2008 03:20 Hi there, I having trouble getting Director to display multi-lingual text in #text members. I'm using WinXP Pro and have installed everything that can be under the "Regional and Language Options". The text displays correctly in the thumbnail preview in the cast window but when I drag the member over to the stage I just get square blocks. The same text works fine in notepad with the same font. Is Unicode support limited to #flashComponent only? Here's some sample text that is not working in a # text member: Japanese Hiragana/Katakana ????? ???? ??? Korean Hanja ????? ??????????? Arabic ??????????? Malayalam ?????????????????
From: Sean Wilson on 7 Jul 2008 04:41 Are you using D11, and is the text member using a font containing the (appropriate) Unicode characters? I'd recommend trying Arial Unicode (you might have to purchase a copy if you don't own a recent copy of M$ Office) for a start, and move on from there if required.
From: hazP on 7 Jul 2008 19:49 Hi Sean, yes I'm using D11. Thanks for the tip, Arial Unicode worked just fine. I guess it's because Director has it's own text rendering engine that works to it's own set of rules and it's pretty much trial and error to find out what those rules are. It's a simple solution but potentially very restrictive but at least it works so I'm happy about that.

Do you need "static" text, or input? |
