How do I enable unicode font for all language of the world in AppGameKit?

I have set: UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 ) // since version 2.0.22 we can use nicer default fonts

It end up looking like a bunch of white square.

Any help appreciated!

This page suggest it does support full utf-8: https://store.steampowered.com/news/posts/?appids=325180&enddate=1482238723

Why is it not working for me?

if your trying to print a special character you need to
string Chr( unicodevalue )
it wont work if you place the special character in a string command a$="(specialcharacter")
as any basic language you use converts that to a character null which by the looks of it is what
you are seeing

this should work
result$="mystrings Unicode value " + str(unicodevalue) + " is"+ str(chr(Unicodevalue))+" ……….")
print (result$)

That is dumb... what if I need to prase a http data that is default to unicode?
And how do I even get the int code from a character like the following?

// ---
UseNewDefaultFonts( 1 ) // since version 2.0.22 we can use nicer default fonts
createtext(1, "个傻眼了")
SetTextSize(1, 50)
do
//Print( ScreenFPS() )
Sync()
loop
//---

main.agc:22: error: "str" does not accept the parameters (String): createtext(1, str("个傻眼了"))

No doubt that will not work...
Is there no way to natively display internationally language?
Do I need to add in a 50mb ttf file for every single language?
They are like 1.9gb in total...
Does it not use windows or os build in language unicode?

the ttf files for each language are very small and not 50mb. the ones i have are around 1mb
and if agk was to add every single font available there wouldnt be one phone that could store the program
due to the increased size after compilation

try this https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/217927

this is my first time playing with UTF-8 but i expect you'll need to find fonts that cover all the regions you want to include. i saw that there are over 110k symbols but the most that i saw a font cover was ~58k (i think the ms arial font i used had ~38k).

The clipboard function just return 63 for unicode code.
However, if you use set, it will return fine?
But copy from elsewhere, it return only 63.

Testing it out with notepad, it copy to notepad fine?

Copy from notepad with utf-8, fail!
Copy from notepad with unicode, fail!

Have I found an actual bug?

I mean, even if I turn it to byte, using asc then chr, it still return 63.

Left it by 1 and the int for this character is 63.

Copy from anywhere, even from a notepad .txt on your desktop.
It will always return code 63 for any utf-8 or unicode text.
unicode is always 4 byte or a register for a single character.

I tried memblock, it did not work.

Preset the setclipboard with the unicode character on file and save as utf-8 in the main.agc file, complie it and run, it will be acquire properlly using getclipboard.

Definitely an issue. I don't know why it hasn't been addressed by TGC

That is impossible, there is no way to get someone else to use another program just to use this program.
