Hello guys!

wondering if dbText() can show other language's text, API functions ( e.g. MessageBox() ) accepts alot of languages ( if not all ), but if i insert like : dbText ( 10, 10, "كتابة" ); it prints "?????"

If you're passing a char string, chars are a single byte and can only represent UTF-8 or ASCII characters. You need an extended charset... don't ask me how.

Athlon64 2.7gHz->OC 3.9gHz, 31C, MSi 9500GT->OC 1gHz core/2gHz memory, 48C, 4Gb DDR2 667, 500Gb Seagate + 80Gb Maxtor + 40Gb Maxtor = 620Gb, XP Home

wchar_t is a wide character (for the extended charset), which is not supported by dbText. Converting it from a wchar_t array to a char array would just screw up your string as a char is made of a single byte while a wchar_t is made of more than a single byte.

Well the only way I guess would be to somehow access the Direct3D Device directly and do it, or you could ask Cloggy to add wchar_t support to the text functions in his D3D Library.

not unicode.
text use Multi-Byte-Character-Set.
this is MS-DOS style CharacterSet.


DarkGDK use 8bit Code Text. (not unicode)
