Hi

I'm using CEGUI 0.5.0. And I can't seem to render any '-' on my textbox or multilinetextbox. Are there any other characters not rendered by cegui (besides tab)?

Thank you

Edit: I found the problem: its my font. Does anyone have Fixedsys for CEGUI?

SOLVED: I fixed Fixedsys - get it? After hours of searching for the right tools I modified the version at http://fixedsys.moviecorner.de/?l=1 and you can download it here: http://redwar.awardspace.com/uploads/De ... 0c_mod.zip

Hi, i did a quick test by modifying a sample and it works for me. Some questions:

-Which font do you use? Maybe it doesn't have a '-' character.
-Did you maybe set a ValidationString on your edit box, which does not allow '-' characters?

HTH.

Or maybe your input system doesn't handle that key correctly ?

Yes it's the font. Thanks guys.
I'm using a home converted Fixedsys TrueType. I must find a better TrueType version. I remember http://fixedsys.moviecorner.de/?l=1 didn't work correctly but I can't test it again right now. If anyone has one please post.

SOLVED: see top post
