Error with Greek Hershey font

[golanlevin]

The code:

E.textFont(PEmbroiderFont.GREEK_SIMPLEX);
E.text("Ξεσκεπαζω την ψυχοφθορα βδελυγμια.", 50, 50);

Produces an error: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 894

@golanlevin

The Hershey font mapping is not unicode

It matches each letter in greek alphabet to ASCII

E.g. alpha->a, beta->b

So try:

E.textFont(PEmbroiderFont.GREEK_SIMPLEX);
E.text("Xeskepazo tin psychofthora vdelygmia.",50,50);

I don't think they have unicode back in the days of Hershey font. But if it's important I can spend some time modifying the mapping to the greek block in unicode. But then there's also Russian and math symbols etc. Not sure if it's worth the trouble ;)

OK. @LingDong- , maybe add a check for non-ASCII input and report an error/warning for now?

👌sure!

Added warning when glyph is not found, and draw a space instead: a58b12c1e3549d6a63ad0c03bbc5ef67ddee4388
