Hello, I am from China. After using RGB-PI, the CRT TV at home is reborn. Thank you very much the author! As far as I know, there are quite a number of fans in China who like to play medieval games. I also used RGB-PI OS after their recommendation. Can support for Chinese fonts be added to the image? On behalf of Chinese users, thank you!

Unfortunately our knowledge about Chinese, whether it is mandarin or any other dialect, is near zero. Also it is unaffordable for us to create a font type that contains 5000 official hanzi characters.

The fonts in the future version of the OS will be based on sprite images so that you'll be able to create your own font type, translations, and only in that scenario we would be able to incorporate the language into the OS, but there is still a long road to reach that point.

Thanks for your comment and enjoy the gaming
