Vizard with non-latin language

[farshizzo]

The last thing I can think of is to manually set the encoding of the text object to UTF8:

text.setEncoding(viz.ENCODING_UTF8)

Vizard will check for a UTF8 BOM in your main script and automatically enable UTF8 encoding, so manually setting the encoding is not usually necessary, but its worth a shot.

it worked
thanks a bunch

when using the code written before - it reverses the order of the letters ( which can also be seen in the jpg you attached )

i tried fixing this using method such as

aa = array.array('c', chars)
aa.reverse()
newa = aa.tostring()

or

temp = list(string)
temp.reverse()
newString = string.join(temp, '')

but for some reason this scrambled the hebrew, and adding a text with the new strings led to strange results...

any solution?
thanks

Here is some sample code that will reverse an utf8 string:

# coding: UTF-8
import viz
viz.go()

def reverse_hebrew(s):
	u = unicode(s,'utf8')
	u = u[::-1]
	return u.encode('utf8')

text = viz.addText(reverse_hebrew('קראטוןםפשדגכעיחלךזסבהנמצ'),viz.SCREEN,pos=(0.5,0.5,0),align=viz.TEXT_CENTER_CENTER)
