Let's address the elephant in the room... #523

Hello there, Ballistica's community. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Many people have previously addressed this issue here (At least 3 as far as I know), The Arabic and Arabic-Like Languages Problem...

Solutions such as switching from image-based to REAL fonts were discussed... Unfortunately, we saw no progress in that area.

I kindly request that Mr. Eric and the developers available take this matter more seriously. I know you're all over the place with new bugs popping up, fixes for old ones, and game updates.

But this... this is a serious flaw.

The last thing I wanted to talk about with you is chat typing. As we all know, if you want to send something, you have to open the console, type whatever you want, then press Enter, then Escape...

Can't the developers provide something like Counter-Strike Chat system? You press "Y," type what you want, and then press enter... Easy Piece Lemon Squeezy

Please let me know what you think, and thank you all.

Hi, I suppose, that happens on test platforms such as Windows/Linux (with no full unicode support)?

Your chat enhancement sounds cool as additional feature, it shouldn't be something hard to do if someone wants to (for those who want: ask Eric or, well, me). The only obstacle I see is that people won't be able to use 'y' as normal input like grab or punch, but we also can update keyboard config window and make things like y, Esc, F5, F7, etc. also customizable.

Yes, that's why a lot of people (including Mr. Eric) proposed that a font based text is better that texture font test

Thx :))

Yes, That's not an issue I just wanted to give an example... cuz when we press F5 The big tab show up and it takes like 40% of the screen...

Thanks for replying @Dliwk, This game is so underrated hope one day it gets the fame it deserves.
