Apostrophe not accepted.

  • #1, by JorkzFriday, 01. December 2017, 17:16 6 years ago
    I recently imported a .TTF font in VS and when I examine that everything seems correct but when I launch the game I note he's completely ignoring apostrophe... I don't know the translation ... it's =>  '

    Why ?

    Thanks.

    I'm not at home so I cant check this, but have you tried

    \' (backslash single-quotation-mark)

    ?

    It might be an encoding-error as strings usually get delimited by single or double quotation marks. I think a real apostrophe (U+2019) is impossible as VS does not understand utf-8 (at least last time I checked).

    Thank you

    I tried it now but it doesn't seem to be that.

    VS interpreted  \'   like  \

    It's weird cause it accepts "complex" others like $, * or ~  etc...

    does the font have it when you use it in another program?

    Yes, but it's not the same aopostrophe of the Windows preview

    Acually, those are not complex, they're plain standard ASCII. But in contrast to ' and " they're not used in markup. Have you checked that you use the correct glyph? Try copying this and see if it works:

    '

    BTW, how about full utf-8 implementation?

    The engine is completely utf8 and utf16. Your ttf needs to include explicitly the apostrophe. Not all ttfs do that.

    So Is there a converter on the net to fix this problem ?
    ...Or something like that ?

    I think that when downloading ttf files you have to check the writen example underneath on the web page to make sure that things like aopostrophe's can be writen with your chosen text.
