Multilanguage support

Hi,

I want add support for english, polish, spanish, german language in my game. Problem is that I can’t find font which support these languages. How do guy solve this problem?

We find fonts that support all code points up to 65k.  Personally I use Zekton as it supports all languages and the style fits my game.

If you are only after Euro languages most fonts will be fine.  If you need CFK support (i.e. China, Japan, etc.) there is much less choice. 

Would the GBC language cabinet meet your needs?

I don’t think  GBC language cabinet plugin provide any fonts. I need only fonts which support several languages. For my simple game I use my own solution for translations. 

@Sphere Game Studios: I think your answer is what I need. Thanks :slight_smile:

The default system font on phones support all languages so that is a safe bet but is very boring.

Simply go to a main font website and they normally allow “your text here”.  Simply and some foreign text (stuff with umlauts and accents, etc) and it will be obvious if that font supports foreign characters or not as a lot will have empty space or a box instead of the actual character.

Do check license restrictions though!
