How can I add special characters in hints/messages?

[smirlianos 5]

I need to display a message in Greek language, but Arma does not support those characters. (Silly if you take into consideration that Arma 3 is supposed to take place on a greek island :P )

hint "ΑΒΓΔΕΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΗΟΠΡΣΤΥΦΧΨΩ"  //example

Is there any way I can add new character support for the game?

Hello there smirlianos !

 

Why not to display an image with that Greek message instead ?

 

[smirlianos 5]

I wanted to display hints as radio messages like the example bellow. It would be too time consuming to create an image for each radio message my mission contains!

I guess I will write them with English characters ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

hint "Ερμής απο Ύαινα. Λαμβάνει Ερμής? Δεν έχουμε διαθέσιμες ομάδες για υποστήριξη. Ελάτε στη βάση επιχειρήσεων βόρεια του Πάρος. Από ύαινα τέλος."

There are three possibilities:

1. Add them by images just George said.
2. Add them by modify CfgFontFamilies. You can create your own fonts with FontToTGA in Arma 3 Tools.
3. Just give it up and transcript them down with some Roman characters.

The solution 2 needs an addon.

Why don't you play a sound  , since it's a radio chat? 

Maybe this way is even better in this case.
