Arabic characters on FontToTga

Recommended Posts

Hello, I just want to create a font with Arabic characters with the FontToTGA tool.
I tried a few times to make sure that I added all the charts of Arabic characters to make it show in Arma 3.
but there are some keys that when I press it not show in Arma 3 and I config FontToTga.cfg like this :

class Arabic
{
  // Arabic  
  start = 0x0627;
  end = 0x6ff;
};

and this is the Result :

I typed:

أ ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ك ل م ن هـ و ي

20231211095909_1.jpg?ex=658936dc&is=6576

as you can see it shows only 27 letters missing 1 letter.

 

and there is one more problem when I type it shows Sporadic ache latter can't connect to the other one 
like :

أنا أسمي كراش

Hi again, I figure out how to fix it first problem, There are some characters are missing because I didn't get them by Editing the  FontToTga.cfg to make it take all characters :

class Arabic
{
  // Arabic  
  start = 0x0600; // old one 0x0627 was wrong
  end = 0x6ff;
};

now i only want to make it connect to each other to make normal to type

AFAIK Arma doesn't support ligatures (which is needed for "connecting" the characters)
