Hi, all:
I meet a problem about use mediacontrol_display_text API to draw Traditional Chinese, , it only show square on the screen?

Anyony meet this situation ? thanks!

Is the quiz too hard？ Does the libfreetype_plugin.dll lack characterset problem? thanks!

Square means that the default font doesn't support chinese characters. Change it in the preferences.

Thanks a lot for your help!!

Whatever I change in preference( FreeType2 font ), it doesn't work! I think it maybe the Freetype2 plugin problem.......

Hi, all,
This probelm seems no chance to fix unless FreeType plugin have new version...／︿＼，maybe wait freetype add free traditional chinese font....

Hi, all,
Does anybody have any idea about this ?

You need to set an adequate font for the freetype-font parameter when initializing the libvlc instance.

Hi, I try to use marquee to show traditional chinese and I set the freetype font and then it works.

When I use the API mediacontrol_display_text to show traditional chinese, it's still cannot recognize the font type.

I think that does it need to modify mediacontrol_audio_video.c to put the font type into psys ?? Is there having any plan to modify these? Thx~~~

hi, folks,
Anyone has this situation ? or has some ideas? thanks a lot.
