Yes, that was the wrong font. lat0-16 is just latin-0 with height 16. That's good enough to get the €uro, that's why I remembered it. You should be able to select a unicode font and a unicode mapping with it, using SCREEN_FONT and APP_CHARSET_MAP, and unicode_start with the right arguments should have the same effect. Should, because display works for me, but not input... > So I'm guessing that UTF-8 can use multiple bytes per character somehow? > Just keeping the 100 or so equivalent to the ASCII characters? Yes. The first byte will have at least the two upper bits set; the number of bits set from bit 8 on gives the number of bytes used for this code. Each following byte has bit 8 set, but bit 7 cleared, thus giving 6bit effective data for each following byte. The lead byte also has a few bits effective data, depending on the number of following bytes. See http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#utf-8 for more details. -- 100 DM = 51 € 13 ¢. 100 € = 195 DM 58 pf. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ruediger-kuhlmann.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
