Display text in Japanese?

I have recently started to use Visionaire Studio, and I love it.

But I do have an issue that could be... well, a real issue.

I can't write any Japanese inside the text boxes.

Whenever I try to write in Japanese, absolutely nothing appears.

My main goal being to make educational games to teach Japanese to students, this is quite vital to me.

Am I missing something? Is this a bug? Would adding Japanese characters support be a possibility in a near future?

I was about to buy the license, so I really hope something can be done about it.

PS : I did download ARIALUNI.ttf and installed it, as said in the link below, but it doesn't seem to work... unless I've missed some step.

A'llo, you could try this font. It's a large download mind @ 1.1 GB. The font apparently covers all languages, including Chinese, Japanese, & Korean, which is why it's so large.

Quick note: if you scroll down the page I linked you can download the individual fonts. Install them on your machine - you will probably need to distribute them with your game too when you export it.

I tried to download the JP fonts (2 of them), and I installed each of the files inside, but...

it still doesn't work.

Is there anything to do software-wise?

Once again, my problem is not that I cannot read the Japanese words I wrote inside the text box.

Whenever I press a key in Japanese, absolutely nothing happens. Visionaire isn't aware of any key I press while my keyboard is in Japanese mode.

(I've uploaded a picture to show that my computer does have the fonts installed)

 The font file should be 23MB big. Like this one: https://freefontsdownload.net/free-arial-unicode-ms-font-369...

Yet... it doesn't work.

As you can see on the picture, ARIALUNI is installed (the name is automatically updated to Arial Unicode MS Normal when installed), but I still can't write Japanese on Visionaire. I press the keys, and my computer doesn't notice it.

I tried to reinstall Visionaire, and nothing changed.

If you did manage to display Japanese SimonS, then I guess I must have done something wrong, but honestly, I don't see what, since those are fairly easy steps to follow...

EDIT : would it be possible that the "test version" of Visionaire doesn't support Japanese?

That would explain why it works with you and not with me.

I also tried to do it on another computer, and just the same: copy/paste and typing just end the same, nothing appears.

Here is some Japanese by the way (maybe that would make it easier for you to check it). I tried to copy paste it inside a display text action, but nothing appeared.

Once again, thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it, and hope we can find a solution.

Thanks!

(edit : new link easier to check)

I found another thing: The font must be registered in the registry in key:

I don't know much about Hkey, so I'm going to check how it works and give it a try.

But knowing you could display it is actually a relief. Then it should work.
