Please help with fonts.

[velsevur]

Chat does not understand the Cyrillic alphabet, tell me how to change the default font.

[Valarian]

Fonts are bitmaps stored in .fgf files in the ruleset. You can generate your own using a font generator on the downloads page (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/downloads/).
This will mean some basic customisation, such as unpacking the ruleset (if in a .PAK) file.

Thank you for your help.

Same issue here .... What a shame that for 100Eur game (Ultimate) I have to spent your time for something so trivial such as to CHANGE THE APPLICATION INTERFACE FONT ! WTF?!?

Hi Riffage - what are you having trouble with?

[Riffage]

Hello,

I'm using Czech special characters and they are not displayed correctly (in whole user interface, not only on chat window).
I did not find any possibility how to change the font or encoding. Also I do not know how to change font size.

Only advice I found was to use some additional tool (font generator) to replace the font - for such a simple thing which I consider a base feature of almost any app.
(not mentioning that I did not found it yet, it is not on the provided URL in the post above)

Hi Riffage - on this current game engine there is no support for other character sets. You can only use the current character set. The font tool above is to change fonts only and FG also supports true type fonts so it is not necessary either.

Welcome to the FG forums!

Unfortunately, you won't see anything like Cyrillic support in Fantasy Grounds Classic (the current version of FG) as the way the fonts work is pretty much a core part of the application and it would be a massive task to try to change that. This may come into FG Unity in the future, here is a recent comment on that from the devs: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?51810-Request-for-support-for-more-languages&p=460784&viewfull=1#post460784

And i've found the solution for russian and some others languages https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?36627-Central-European-Languages-(CEL)-Fonts&p=358965&viewfull=1#post358965 look at the bottom links.
Please pin it to FAQ and wiki page. And give that guy something worthy for his job.

That's not going to cover all fonts in a ruleset. But if you're happy with what it does cover then that's great! :)

Ofcourse not. But developers just do nothing with this problem(you gave me the link to official answer), and actually they already have the way how to make it work. So why dont make ext for all common languages and make premade button inside FGC to choose your language on startup? I saw the guid from this guy, it's not a big deal honestly. But nope "engine doesnt support other lng" that's rediculous. Sorry for my directness and my eng. It's not my native lng.

There is a recent answer about that, here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?51810-Request-for-support-for-more-languages&p=460784&viewfull=1#post460784 :) So, something like this may be implemented in FGU, but it needs surely time (but there it is only about sending chat messages when I remember it correctly; translating existing stuff like modules is of course something different for which you need a lot of ressources in sense of time, people and so on, too)

Actually, it is a big deal - trust me on that!

Im talking only about chat, notes, stories, and other stuff like that which you can make by yourself. I know that translating existing stuff like modules, books and so on, is a big problem. But im not talking about it right now, other DMs and I just want to make ours own content in our native lngs and play custom games)))

Yes, I understand :) But as Trenloe mentioned above (and Moon Wizard in the post I linked) that is a bit more complicated, but they are aware of that and may add that later in FGU and that is what I wanted to say :) They do not ignore this, do not worry :)
