General Discussion & Help / Re: Latin characters in font
« on: March 05, 2022, 11:54:16 AM »
It's a rather big code change I'm afraid. Not only does it require me to replace the name variables from strings to something that supports UTF-8, but it also requires me to change the entire text printing code, which currently only supports default ASCII characters. I'll get to it sooner or later, I'm sure, but it's not on top of my priority list at the moment. RetroFE was made F/OSS exactly so others could help code, but so far it appears to be a one man job (two if you count the original programmer Emb).

It's a real shame…

It astonishes me seeing how many derived products, or products based on retrofe are out there, and how many of them make business of it, the poor help I see for the original creators… you can find daily dozens of messages on coinops and similar discord servers, but no one comes around here  :(

Well, I could certainly use some help in this department. The current website isn’t exactly good nor impressive.

I'm open for some quick good-looking work, mostly using free resources, that is powerful and easy to maintain later  ;)

Drop me a PM or a mail if you want and let's see what we need and what we can do without much effort  ;)

I have created an issue list on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/phulshof/retrofe/issues?status=new&status=open
You can find all the feature requests there, and I will update it as features get added and/or as feature requests come in. :)

404, maybe update address to new list?  ;)

I'm afraid that cannot be fixed unless I manage to figure out how to support UTF-8 within the code. It's still on my to-do list, but that list is longer than I have spare time. If anyone else wants to have a look: be my guest.

Agh!
I love how fast retrofe is, but language is still a big handicap for my kids  :-\

If there's any way non coders can help, let me know! Just saw this issue is coming from quite a far, maybe someone may have a clue over Stack Overflow or similar?

Thanks for all your efforts anyway!

Seems this topic is quite stalled.

If you're still interested we could work something easy in latest Joomla!, quite more powerful than WordPress and as easy, and not as complicated as Drupal.

For me, is the only real GPL major CMS, as is the only one not having a business behind but a real non-profit. Also, it's not spaghetti code as WordPress ;)

Hi,

I'm attempting to do a localized frontend in my language for my kids, but none of the tilde characters appear (à, é, í,...)

How could I fix that?

Thanks!
