Missing the french character "e dans l'o" #59

Hello, it could be great to add the "e dans l'o" character : œ. Here's what it looks like (it's in the last word). image Good work anyway!

IdreesInc commented 1 year ago

May I also ask what the character is between the "d" and "u" there?

lucasrecan commented 1 year ago

The two dots are a tréma! In French, you can find it on the letters e, i and u (ë, ï and ü).

No @Ribouu, I think @IdreesInc is talking about the French "apostrophe", which is kind of a single quote, used to replace a e (here, de un becomes d'un). The single quote character is often used in that case: that's even what we use to type it on a keyboard, exactly as we would for words like that's. Very few fonts do automatically replace it with an actual "apostrophe", and I think that even Minecraft uses a single quote character.

œ has been added as part of https://github.com/IdreesInc/Monocraft/pull/79 and will be released in v2.1 later tonight! Also thank you both for the explanations, but I am still a little confused. Is that apostrophe a separate character all together, and do you believe it be added to Monocraft as an apostrophe?

I believe a single quote character is fine:

Moreover, Minecraft itself is using a single quote (game in French): 2022-12-29_14 48 49

that's absolutely crazy how well it runs on M1 Macs btw
