I was trying to create a bitmap hiragana font, but I noticed it's not listed in BMFont. I took a quick look in the source and noticed that hiragana is mentioned here on like 150 https://github.com/OpenTechEngine/bmfont/blob/master/source/unicode.cpp

I'm guessing the latest build is outdated maybe? I have never compiled c++ and I'm getting a bunch of errors when I try too as well :(

You need a TrueType font that supports the Hiragana characters in order to generate the bitmap font from it. BMFont will only display the characters contained in the TrueType font you chose from the font settings.

In the above image I used the font 'Arial Unicode MS' which is one of the most complete TrueType I know of.

(edit: it seems there is a problem with the forum software. The image is not saved with the post :( )
