Allegro library 4.4 korean broken?

It sounds like you did not load a font that has Korean glyphs. Alternatively, the Allegro loading functions simply didn't load the Korean glyphs from the font file. So first check the font to see if it has the glyphs you need, then check Allegro's documentation to see how to make it load them.

I am working with allegro 4.4 library when I print korean, korean string breaks but english isn't in Allegro Manual, it says, allegro uses UTF8 encoding by default. I have no idea what was wrong, and what to fix. Textout_ex(screen,font,"?(korean)", 24, 2, makecol(255, 255, 255), -1); any idea how to print korean properly?

Thanks in adavanced c++ string representation allegro link|improve this question asked Aug 25 '11 at 2:02kim taeyun50418 93% accept rate.

It is possible that your compiler does not support unicode string literals. – Mankarse Aug 25 '11 at 3:40.

Note: just because a library says that it supports strings of UTF-8 or 16 encoding does not mean that they actually support all of those glyphs. And it certainly doesn't mean that they support complex text layout. I don't know if Korean requires complex text layout, but Allegro certainly doesn't support it.

Thank you very much! The manual(allegro manual 4.2) says use TTF2PCX program to make pcx. I made a pcx file from korean font(which has korean glyphs) but same representation.

And I also tried addon allegTTF but I have no luck. AllegTTF's example says load_ttf_font function is what I have to use but it makes linking error "unresolved external symbol" help~ – kim taeyun Aug 25 '11 at 6:11.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
