Is the fonts_cyrillic demo working?

[SimonRogers]

Hi

I'm evaluating ugfx, with a particular interest in Unicode/UTF-8 support. I have run the fonts_cyrillic demo in Ubuntu but get the result shown in the attached screenshot. It doesn't look like the text is rendered correctly, e.g. the 'и' character.

Is this what it's supposed to do?

Thanks

Simon

Hello SimonRogers and welcome to the Community!

Sorry for the late reply. We are currently very busy. Sadly I can't promise you that we'll have time to take a look at this before Monday morning.

The last time we checked the demo worked the way it should. There are also a lot of users that successfully use the uGFX library with cyrillic fonts so we don't expect there to be a big issue. Did you try to use a different font? This article explains how you can use any Cyrillic TrueType font that you can find on the internet: http://wiki.ugfx.org/index.php/Font_rendering

Thanks for your reply. I just ran the fonts_cyrillic demo 'out the box' with no code changes, using the font that is distributed in the demo.

I'll have a play around with the fonts and see if I can get anywhere.

It would be useful to know if anyone else sees the same when they run it.

Thanks again

Simon

OK, I've convinced myself that UTF-8 is working. I've converted a non-english font and displayed it.

Thanks

Glad to hear that you got it working - does this actually solve your issue/answer your question or should we still have a look this when we get to it?
