Extended Language Fonts

This is my list of languages and nothing in the dropdown menu

Looking at that screenshot, there is no indication that the extension was loaded. If it was loaded for that campaign, then you should see a message in chat.

Ah ok. Any way to force it to load. It says it is enabled in the FG Forge. But it doesn't seem to load

Enabling it in the forge just means that it will download to your machine with an update. It does not turn on the extension for your campaign. When you are loading your campaign, there is a list of extensions on the right, you need to make sure that the Extended Language Fonts extension is selected before you load the campaign.

Ah that worked Thank you!

The extension is loaded for me (I also cleared all other extensions just to see if that was the problem, but no luck still). When I select a language (after populating with the fonts for each language), I'm not getting the message "Understood by" nor a 'translated' version of the text.

The old extension I was using doesn't work now either, so maybe it's just something that happened recently?

edit: I'm using GURPS, I'll try to make some other and see if there is any problem there

edit edit: seems to work on 5E fine, and core, so I'll poke the nice GURPS people and ask them

Very likely the GURPS ruleset did their own implementation of language and did not inherit from Core. This extension should work on any ruleset that inherits the language system from Core.

Could we get a volume 2 of this? or a tutorial how to add our own fonts?

If I happen to find enough fonts with a license that allows sharing, I'd be happy to make another, but its not easy finding ones that allow distribution.

For a tutorial, the best thing would be to crack the extension open and see how its constructed. Its relatively simple code. I just saw that it had been installing to the vault, that was an oversight of mine. I have switched it to install to the extensions directory so you can extract the code and see how it works.

As @mattekure mentions, opening the extension (once it's out of the vault) and see how it's constructed is the way to go.
