In-game text problem - squares for EOF
« on: January 01, 2006, 08:25:41 am »
I did look in the forums but couldn\'t find something similar. Sorry if it\'s somewhere out there already.
Here\'s the problem:
When the NPC\'s talk back to me with long sentences, instead of changing lines (carriage return) I see a square.
Same thing when I read one of the books as you can see from the image.
The system it runs on is Win2K.
Anyone to shed some light in this?



If the image is too big or not allowed tell me and I will put a simple link to it.
Thank you

The cause of this problem is that the gui can only display ascii characters- but any unicode characters can be inputed. MSword for one likes to use it\'s own symbols instead of common punction such as the \"\" in that picture.

So everyone has this problem or is there a workaround?

I too have them, if that\'s what bothers you.
Seems then that it\'s a common issue. ;)
Are there any MoonSeekers left?

I wouldn\'t go as far as bother.
Just didn\'t want to be the only one and not know an answer.
Now I do. ;)

CS _can_ display Unicode characters (given the font supports them). However, you need to feed the output routines UTF-8 encoded strings.

basically its a production fault, albeit a fairly minor one, nothing to worry about, and as far as i know cant be fixed client side (at least not simply).
