Reply #1 - Mar 20th, 2010, 8:47am   You have to use Unicode characters (UTF-8 in source) and a font supporting these codepoints. [EDIT] Quick test on Windows XP: Code: size(500, 100); PFont f = createFont("Arial", 72); textFont(f); text("Русский", 5, 70);

First make sure you text file is UTF-8 encoded, as Philho pointed out. Please post some code so we can have a closer look to your problem!
