sf::Text, UTF-8 and Debian

    sf::Text text;
    sf::Font font;

    text.setFont(font);
    text.setCharacterSize(30);
    text.setColor(sf::Color::Red);
    text.setString(utf32line);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)

    }
}

test.ttf is Freemono from Debian package fonts-freefont-ttf. line variable contains UTF-8 encoded string だきまくら, but code tag somehow breaks it.
And here is some FAQ from irc: Yes, freemono supports kana(see; http://www.gnu.org/software/freefont/coverage.html ), No  wchar_t is not going to work. I see (correct number of) boxes with ? in them.

tl;dr: Should work, doesn't.

Your code looks good, I'll test it ASAP.

Well.... I downloaded the package, checked the contained TTFs and none of them had support for the glyphs you want. Correct me if I'm wrong but what I understand from that table is that it also says that none of the fonts have Hiragana or Katakana support (the row is empty). So... I guess the people on IRC lied?

On Windows, if I copy Arial Unicode MS (which has almost full unicode glyph support) into the test directory and use it instead, the glyphs show up perfectly, so I don't think SFML can fix your problem...

... Then how can I display those characters in both terminal and text editor?

Looks like this is not SFML issue. Apparently Debian picks different font for displaying japanese characters and with correct style and size if current one doesn't support it. I solved the issue by loading correct font.

I'm sorry for bothering.
