POLPOX 766 Posted May 1, 2018 Heya, I just want to create a font with Asian characters (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) in a free font by Google, NotoSans, with the tool, FontToTga. I tried few times with GUI version but it created only some Latin characters. Any way to create them with Asian characters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikero 79 Posted May 1, 2018 the notosans font is brilliant combining Japanese, Korean and Chinese glyphs all in one package. It already exists in arma3 as NotoSansCJK-Light, and contains 23 'codepages'. clearly bis made that using the tool you mention, so it must be possible. I have not made such a font so have no practical experience, but I'd suggest you first try your hand at a less ambitious character set to check if you understood the options and syntax. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, nevermind, I guess I found the answer. Modify FontToTga.cfg to do the job. Thank you anyways. I did not mention about but, I want to Medium, Bold variants of the font. https://feedback.bistudio.com/T128076 This is serious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikero 79 Posted May 2, 2018 I congratulate you on a genuine achievement. I implicitly understood you wanted a different font appearance of some kind. My suggestion was simply to start with a small step. BI's 'proper' use of Unicode, specifically utf8 in the engine has been a win<>win for everyone. Fyi: the tga (and ultimately paa) produced is a bitmapped, proportional font, rather than 'typographic/scaleable' represented by trueType or equivalents. This is much more efficient for a game engine at the penalty of having to 'make' various point sizes of the same characters. Again, congratulations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
