Rendering special unicode characters in the .NET binding

[GaborKovacs]

I've recently done a C++ SFML project in which I was able to configure Font objects with custom unicode character sets with no problem. Now I'm using SFML in a .NET project and the same thing does not appear to work: the non-Latin-1 characters (specifically: Ű, Ő, ű, ő) are not rendered. The relevant C# code is as follows:

Code: [Select]

string hungChars = @"AÁBCDEÉFGHIÍJKLMNOÓÖŐPQRSTUÚÜŰVWXYZaábcdeéfghiíjklmnoóöőpqrstuúüűvwxyz0123456789.?!,:;-()";
SFML.Graphics.Font arial = new SFML.Graphics.Font(@"C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\arial.ttf", 48, hungChars);
String2D text = new String2D("Does this work? áéíóöőúüű ÁÉÍÓÖŐÚÜŰ", arial);

Am I getting something wrong here?

Thanks for your help in advance,

This kind of bug should be fixed in SFML 2, have you tried it?

[GaborKovacs]

No, I haven't. I thought since version 1.6 was the current official version, it should be reasonably stable. Since all other features I'm using appear to work beautifully, I've been wondering if there's a possible workaround for displaying unicode characters with this version.

When is version 2.0 due to be officially released (just as a rough estimate)? Is the currently available snapshot reasonably close to what we can expect to see then?

Thanks for your help again.

SFML 1.6 is not maintained anymore, although it's the last official version.

SFML 2.0 is a lot better, cleaner and more robust. It's almost complete, only the graphics API will be redesigned (ok, that's a huge modification...).

Thank you. I'll have a go with the v2.0 snapshot then!
