Russian language

I want to use the Russian language in my game, but standard fonts of the SDK have no Russian characters.
I tried to search fonts, but .fnt is a very rare format and I didn’t find anything.
Prompt me please how I can find, create or conver from other formats fonts with Russian characters.

Let’s try to ninja pspeed :wink:

Oh, I’ve tried!

But the result is not impressive:

Only 256 characters. And in .fnt file there are only 256 character descriptions.

try to get TTF to FNT converter. And convert the font with russian characters.

This might be useful:

…apparently our SDK font creator has issue with large character sets.

That’s interesting, I saw someone else say something similar recently too.

It seems the updated Font Creator tool isn’t generating the full range in the saved file. I’ll try and find time to look into it although I have very little of that at the moment.

Yes, I reported this earlier.

Currently you must use “BMFont” that pspeed mentioned.
It has very many options and can do some crazy things.
The settings of BMFont and its user interface are very good.
One problem is, that it’s not open source at the moment.
Another problem is, that it’s only for Windows.
Yet another problem is, that there isn’t a font-merge-tool (yet).

The Font Creator Plugin has some other problems too.
It might still be a valid option if all you need is ASCII support.
