Language Support II FT800

#1 Post by Findus » 19 Aug 2016 10:36

Hi,

the FT800 can only characters from 1..127. This is the area for ASCII. special character like öäü° are defined in ANSI 128..255. Visual TFT can only handle character 1..255 on there position. Visual TFT can no mapping. But there 1..31 are not used. So I create a font with the special character I need in the area 1..32.

In the string table I make the mapping by hand:

Code: Select all

   cGSTo_KExecute_Caption                           = 'Ausf'+#20+'hren';
   cGSTo_TitleLight_Caption                         = 'Bildschirm Helligkeit';
   cGSTo_TitleLanguage_Caption                      = 'Sprache';
   cGSTo_ValueLanguage_Caption                      = 'Deutsch';

   cESL_TitleOpenAfterStop_Caption                  = #22+'ffnen nach anhalten';
   cESS_TitleDichte_Caption                         = 'Dichte der Fl'+#20+'ssigkeit';
or in English

Code: Select all

   cESTo_KExecute_Caption                           = 'Execute';
   cESTo_TitleLight_Caption                         = 'Screen brightness';
   cESTo_TitleLanguage_Caption                      = 'Language';
   cESTo_ValueLanguage_Caption                      = 'english';
now I have to delete the ervery time the font generate from VTFT with my include line.

Code: Select all

{$include Tahoma_21x25_Regular.inc}
const Tahoma_21x25_Regular : array[17546] of byte = (
   $00,

Hi Thomas,

You can try to use different name when you generate font.

I have answered you on this thread:
