You are right german umlauts shouldnt be a problem with 8 bit characters.... Font cant be the problem, because im using the same for the input and the display labels. Rendering methods....well im only using vgui::Label here
I've tryed to use gEngfuncs.pfnDrawHudUnicodeString( or something like that ), but this function is just ignoring umlauts They are working in counterstrike( well im not sure if the chat input supported it, but it could render them ). Anyways I'll try it with opengl directly...I hope that this will solve my problem^^ And thank you for your help =) - Green Jonas 'Sortie' Termansen schrieb: > Because the c_str() still is a valid string.
