GUI.Text and helpers.i18n

[goofy67]

Is there a way to make this work?

import GUI
from helpers import i18n

message = i18n.makeString('#settings:DECALS_QUALITY')
gui_text = GUI.Text(message)
GUI.addRoot(gui_text)

As long as message contains only ascii-characters (english client), everything is fine. With unicode (as eg. russian, german, french,.. ) all non-ascii-characters are messed up.

There is a font problem. Only characters, existing in BW font, could be used. Russian supported on RU client, as well as Latin characters, but umlaut need to be replaced manually. Try to open textures from system/font.

Use Flash instead. There is full unicode support, if your font have required characters, of course.

Thank you for youe answer. But I think it is not worth the effort to create an extra flash-file for just a single line of text in a tiny script..

 

Or is there another way to create a simple text-message in lobby? (besides message-center, I know that)

What you mean about simple message? In lobby you can append text to some other text... sometimes HTML is supported.
