How can I display characters of different languages?

in General Discussion • Other • 3 months ago

Whenever I try to text() or print() text of other languages e.g. japanese, arabic, etc. I see only ?????? (question marks).

Do I have to create a new font? If so, what characters should I add to the font? Is there any encoding that I should do?

You have to use a font supporting the characters you need to display.
Some fonts support more glyphs than other.
You better use createFont() (perhaps with a TTF file in the data folder) rather than loadFont() (otherwise the generated font will be too big).
