Chinese character are 90 deg CCW
June 29, 2007 01:00 PM
Hi,
I am using Bitmap Font Generator for my game, and I want to use chinese characters. But I have noticed that they are all 90 deg counter-clock wise...
Is this a bug? I see nothing in the .fnt that describes a character rotation.
Thanks.

This is a known problem, but that only seems to happen with fonts that start with @, e.g. @Arial Unicode MS. Choose the font that doesn't start with @ instead and you should be able to generate the font correctly.

It's not a problem, it's a feature. Chinese can be laid out either way.

Is it? I had heard chinese could be written either horizontally or vertically but I didn't know the characters where rotated as well.
Well, it's better for me if it is a feature, since that means my app isn't broken. :)
Thanks for letting us know.

Chinese can be written in vertical columns that are read from right to left. So if you use the rotated font, you can type and print in this alignment using any old western-style word processor.

Thanks for explaining this to me. I'll update the documentation for BMFont with this information so that others will know as well.
