hi, at first please keep the list cc'ed. not me, but all others are maybe interested in a working solution. the main problem in my point of view is, that you have a windows codepage mapping in the ttf font. linux has iso codepage mapping or utf-8. you may have to write a kind of a conversion routine just before assigning the values to the std::string best regards marcel > > On 8/31/06, Marcel Siegert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Thursday 31 August 2006 20:23, Bu Bacoo wrote: > > > Hello, please could anyone help me with some hint? > > hi, > > > > > > I try to output special Swedish characters (öåä) with DFB++'s > > > IDirectFBSurface::DrawString.
