System / Re: Unable to display Japanese characters

You can't define Unicode characters in a "regular" string literal (made of 8-bit chars), you need at least a wide string literal.

msg = L"こんにちはSMFL";
hdr = L"こんにちはSMFL";

That was the solution, thank you for your help!

And by the way, it is SFML.

Ah, sorry.  Slip of the index ._.

System / Unable to display Japanese characters

« on: June 11, 2012, 02:54:16 am »

Hello, I've been trying to get Japanese characters to render in SFML 2 RC to no avail.  I've used the font from this thread so that I know the font is compatible. Direct link for convenience.

The Japanese text comes up as question marks while English text displays normally.  Sample code is below, thank you for reading:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/System/Utf.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
        sf::Font font;
        sf::String msg, hdr;
        sf::Text text;

        if(!font.loadFromFile("test.ttf"))
        {
                text.setString("Load failed"); 
                hdr = "Warning!";
        }
        else
        {
                font.loadFromFile("test.ttf");
                //char jp[2] = { '\u70B9','\u83DC' }; //error even worse here
                //msg = jp;
                msg = "&#12371;&#12435;&#12395;&#12385;&#12399;SMFL"; //tested this first, Japanese characters come up as "??????SMFL"
                hdr = "&#12371;&#12435;&#12395;&#12385;&#12399;SMFL";
       
                //Set up for potential conversion from different utf types
                /*sf::Utf<8>::toUtf32(msg.begin(), msg.end(), msg.begin());
                sf::Utf<8>::toUtf32(hdr.begin(), hdr.end(), hdr.begin());*/

                text.setFont(font);
                text.setString(msg);
        }

        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(300, 200), hdr);

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

        window.clear();
        window.draw(text);
        window.display();
    }

    return 0;
}
