Font display corrupted by Windows XP Asian language support

Post by pr64 »

Hi,

I've created 6 fonts.
- 3 true type fonts with FC
- 3 bitmap fonts with other software
For product specific reasons I needed to map symbols to indexes that are not commonly used for this. For example, at index 0x11, I set Ł (which is a polish char).

Dealing with WindowsCodePage(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_pages) issues, I finally made my Windows Application work fine for several languages using these fonts.

But...
... I sent this application to somebody who had the Asian language support item checked on its Windows XP Desktop. And then, some chars where replaced by others ! When turning off this option, the software worked fine !

Do you have any idea on this strange issue ?

Thanks a lot for your help !

Pierre
