> Hello there,
> BGE has no unicode support (and the text support is awkward to use to say
> the least). Since Blender 2.5 has the integration with freetype2 (through
> the BLF) I decided to give it a try and port the Blender Font Objects into
> the BGE.

> structure is all there. I would like some help reviewing the integration
> with the BGE (Benoit, could you take a look at that?) and general testing. I

> squeezed into Blender 2.5x.
