How to input Chinese character in text field? (DEF-3629)

[rinkowei]

I input Chinese character in text field, it displays blank character.

[rinkowei]

I am programming on Windows, not test yet on IOS and Android.

You mean that when you type Chinese characters in a field in the editor nothing is shown? Have you checked the All Chars checkbox in the font?

[rinkowei]

in the editor I have seen it shown in a field. But I build the project, in runtime I have not seen it.

[britzl]

Can you please confirm that you have checked the All Chars checkbox?

[rinkowei]

Yes, of course. I checked.

[britzl]

Ok, can you please share the font together with some sample text so that I can try to reproduce it?

I already have tested, it works on mobile, but Windows.

Thanks. I’ll take a look. Are you using the font in a label or in a gui text node? If you’re using a label it could be that it’s on the same z-value as something else and ends up behind.

[rinkowei]

I am using the font in a gui text node.

[britzl]

I tried both a label and a gui text node. It works on OSX and HTML5:

Going to check on Windows as well.

And it works on Windows:

Next step would be that you share a minimal repro case here.

[rinkowei]

Thank you. Do you input character in the runtime ?

[britzl]

Ah, no, I used a static text node and label. Will try setting the text at run-time instead.

[britzl]

And it works at run-time meaning that the font cache is working:

So I’m guessing we’re talking keyboard input of Chinese text right? And text input worked on Android but not on Windows?

[rinkowei]

Yes, text input worked on Andorid but not on Windows. Can you give me a sample Code ?

[britzl]

I tried on OSX now with text input as well:

[rinkowei]

Thank you, I check it now.

[rinkowei]

it not works, maybe on OSX it works but not works on Windows.

Yep, I can confirm that this is a bug. Created ticket: DEF-3629
