Hi again everyone, I must be really really bad, but I still didn't manage to display a single latin-1 specific characters. I found an article (http://apia.u-strasbg.fr/vrml/utile/special.html) with a piece of code explaining how to convert iso8859-1 to UTF8 but I still didn't manage to achieve anything.
In fact, even this single call fails : glyph_index = FT_Get_Char_Index(face, 0xC3A9); 0xC3A9 being, according to this article, the code for the french "é". It always returns 0. Of course, I selected the unicode charmap and I also tried with several fonts, just in case. [A bit off topic, but out of curiosity : special characters in ASCII belong to 128-255 in the case of an unsigned char. Do the same symbols, in signed char or unsigned char have the same values in terms of bits ? Do bitwise operations have the same effects if applied to signed / unsigned variables ?] Thanks again to everyone, - mahen _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
