Hi!
Is there any collegue from China maybe who can help me?
I am from Europe and I bought McuFriend 3.5" touch screen from E-bay.
Now I want to write something in chinese letters.
For the test I want to write on TFT LCD the China capitall city Beijing in chinese letters.
Thank you!
Hi!
Does any body know how to write chinese letters on this type of TFT LCD?
Thank you.
Not many things about this on Google. Look at this thread.
Googling "Tibetan Fonts" gives some very weird looking results.
Likewise there are some strange looking European fonts.Please post a link to a typical font that you would like to use.
How many characters do you need? e.g. letters, digits, symbols.
Are these commonly used characters in consecutive Unicode values?It should be possible to convert a Tibetan font in TTF format to FreeFont format on the PC.
Then it is simply a matter of mapping the Unicode values to convenient 0-255 range of values for existing Adafruit_GFX methods.As I said earlier. Russians, Greeks, Chinese ... all have complex Unicode fonts.
So if you can find a Chinese TTF font, you should be able to work it out.
Ok, now I understand:
1.) Find regulary PC TTF font (Chinese).
2.) Convert this font for Arduino use.
3.) Use it in Arduion program.
Thank you
First off, translating "Beijing" into 7 Unicode letters is not how Chinese language works.
I believe it is just two "Simplified Chinese" characters. At least that is what Google Translate gives you.
As lesept said: rendering any character from a FreeFont just means mapping 0-255 to the appropriate pictogram.
You have to find the Chinese font.
You have to devise some way to map European text to Chinese pictograms.
Or write Chinese Unicode like Chinese people.

Actually David, you said it, I just copied what you wrote in this thread...
Hi!
It sound very complicated for me...
But, yes I know Beijing have two characters, Bei and Jing.
If I manage everything you wrote, I think I will then write what I will need only with code numbers like \xDC for Ü letter. Am I right?
Regards!
