Unsupported language of the currently used font shown as 'tofu characters' about opsu HOT 15 CLOSED

Yeah, I noticed this earlier too. Unfortunately I really don't know how to fix this... do you have any ideas? (It doesn't look like Slick's API has anything to handle this, and I don't know much about dealing with fonts otherwise.)

from opsu.

The only thing I can think of is to use a font that's big enough, or merge some fonts together into one file... falling back to system's sans-serif seems impossible after actully looking into the code.

Wow, apparently I'm still here!

Hey, you should take a look at this, @itdelatrisu: https://www.google.com/get/noto/cjk.html

It's OTF, though.. does Slick not have an OTF handling class?

from opsu.

It doesn't; those were actually the first fonts I tried using, but Slick's font support is terrible. Kochi Gothic is the best thing I could find.

@itdelatrisu I'm testing out Unifont, but it's extremely ugly... :(

from opsu.

For the most part, it kind of works...

but that ugliness...

from opsu.

Well... I could add a font switching option and keep Kochi Gothic as the default, but it'd really bloat the file size... I don't know. x-x

from opsu.

@itdelatrisu Yeah :(
Unifont is around 11mb with all (most) glyphs, and adding that with Kochi Gothic would make opsu! really big. 20mb for just fonts? That's a LOT.

(If you're still around, let me know what you think of the new font!)

I wish the English font was Roboto :(
But Droid Sans works too!

from opsu.

I tried playing around for a bit, but I think it'd be too much of a hassle to use multiple fonts for English/CJK text, at least using Slick's font engine (which won't let you provide fallback fonts, as far as I can tell). It's difficult to get consistent layouts on all resolutions if I switch between two fonts, too, and I can't think of an efficient way to check if every rendered string contains non-ascii glyphs (aside from just wrapping the String class).

I don't know if merging the TTF files is possible without losing any quality, but that seems like the only reasonable approach.

from opsu.

DroidSansFallback looks fine to me...
I was thinking converting Noto CJK to TTF, but realized that's still only CJK and wouldn't be much better than DroidSansFallback.

from opsu.

If you want to give it a shot, let me know how it turns out -- I'm not completely satisfied with Droid Sans, but I agree that it's definitely fine for now.

from opsu.

I tried to convert it with FontForge by importing it and exporting as TrueType Font. It gave me a bunch of warning, and after ignoring all warnings it created the ttf, put it into the .jar and it is just like no font have been loaded.

from opsu.

@flyingfeather1501 If you load the ttf in Windows Font Viewer (or your operating system's respective font viewer), do the glyphs look correct?
