I am trying to draw a few unicode characters using ATSUDrawText.
I am trying to draw the letter "A", then the infinity symbol (unicode
221E hex), and then a japanese hiragana character (unicode 3042
hex). I am not getting this string to draw nicely.
I set up a layout and style, and draw the text, and I get the
following results:
1) with the font AG old face I get only the letter A
2) with the font Lucida I get only the letter A and the infinity symbol
3) with the font Osaka I get empty boxes
Why can't I get a japanese character with the Osaka font?
What is the deal with ATSUDrawText? Does it need special preparation
to draw unicode characters? Is there a font in the apple mac
universe that is fully populated so you can guarantee any old
character will draw? Or is there a fallback system I can activate?
Surely someone else must have wrestled with this, and I appreciate
any tips.
I need to use ATSUDrawText from my carbon program because I want to
use rotation capabilities, which it has. And I want to be able to
draw all those nifty unicode symbols.
