[Bf-gamedev] Showing Malayalam language in BGE script window

[Piotr Arłukowicz]

Dear Jestin,

I'm not an expert on quirks of fonts in BGE, but maybe, in your case, there
is a font-related problem. Some language encodings aren't present in fonts,
especially they are not ported in native Blender Bfont. Did you try to use
another fonts with glyphs for your language? Changing just a font could
help a lot. Another way is to make displaying text from a texture, using uv
splits and then a game is creating sprites which are displayed. Then you
can even draw your own fonts, but this method is a bit more complicated,
however, it was used since years, so you'll be able to find good tutorials
about it. Just look for "BGE custom fonts" or similar.

regards
Pio
