Please can you do a simple test using English letters (i.e.
7-bit ASCII) and a well-known font that definitely contains these
characters? We need to know if your problem is:
- Getting TrueType rendering running at all
- Unicode support
- Broken font
- Complex script support (known missing feature in Microwindows)
Did you enable FreeType 2 support in the config file (and disable FreeType
1 support)?
I don't know if the Microwindows FreeType 1 driver supports Unicode. The
FreeType 2 driver definitely does - I use it to render UTF-8.
Also, Microwindows doesn't do any of the fancy OpenType layout that some
languages need. Only simple TrueType glyph rendering
Kind regards,
Jon Foster
