Unicode Chinese Characters (ttf) are not being shown

[Shum88]

if gameover == false
    display = "分數(Score) = $score"
else
    display = "GAME OVER! Final Score = $score"
    #play again instructions
    replay = TextActor("Click to play Again,  點擊...再玩", sDspFont; font_size = 26, color = Int[0, 0, 0, 255])
    replay.pos = (135, 390)
    draw(replay)
end

above Chinese Character are not being shown

sDspFont::String = "wt009"

Some research suggests that the solution here is to use TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended rather than TTF_RenderText_Blended as we do currently in TextActor

[Shum88]

#sf = SDL2.TTF_RenderText_Blended(font, text, SDL2.Color(color...))
sf = SDL2.TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended(font, text, SDL2.Color(color...))

After modified the actor.jl:TextSctor() function as above ... Chinese Characters can be shown correctly

Hi Aviks,

Following your suggestion ... Chinese Characters can be shown correctly

Thanks again !

Thank you for confirming. We do need to fix this in this project as well.
