All your strings need to use UTF-8 encoding. In C++11 you can encode a string literal in UTF-8
|
||||
by using the u8"hello" syntax. Specifying literal in your source code using a local code page
|
||||
(such as CP-923 for Japanese or CP-1251 for Cyrillic) will NOT work!
|
||||
Otherwise, you can convert yourself to UTF-8 or load text data from a file already saved as UTF-8.
|
||||
All your strings need to use UTF-8 encoding.
|
||||
You need to tell your compiler to use UTF-8, or in C++11 you can encode a string literal in UTF-8 by using the u8"hello" syntax.

Specifying literal in your source code using a local code page (such as CP-923 for Japanese or CP-1251 for Cyrillic) will NOT work!

of [FONTS.md](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/FONTS.md) for details about UTF-8 Encoding.

Text input: it is up to your application to pass the right character code by calling `io.AddInputCharacter()`.
|
||||
The applications in examples/ are doing that.

## Readme First
|
||||
|
||||
- You can use the `Metrics/Debugger` window (available in `Demo>Tools`) to browse your fonts and understand what's going on if you have an issue. You can also reach it in `Demo->Tools->Style Editor->Fonts`. The same information are also available in the Style Editor under Fonts.
|
||||
## Readme First
|
||||
|
||||
**A vast majority of font and text related issues encountered comes from 3 things:**
|
||||
- Invalid filename due to use of `\` or unexpected working directory. See [About Filenames](#about-filenames). AddFontXXX functions should assert if the filename is incorrect.
|
||||
- Invalid UTF-8 encoding of your non-ASCII strings. See [About UTF-8 Encoding](#about-utf-8-encoding). Use the encoding viewer to confirm yours is correct.
|
||||
- You need to load a font with explicit glyph ranges if you want to use non-ASCII characters. See [Fonts Loading Instructions](#fonts-loading-instructions). Use Metrics/Debugger->Fonts to confirm loaded fonts and loaded glyph ranges.
|
||||
|
||||
The third point is a current constraint of Dear ImGui (which we will lift in the future): when loading a font you need to specify which characters glyphs to load.
|
||||
All loaded fonts glyphs are rendered into a single texture atlas ahead of time. Calling either of `io.Fonts->GetTexDataAsAlpha8()`, `io.Fonts->GetTexDataAsRGBA32()` or `io.Fonts->Build()` will build the atlas. This is generally called by the Renderer backend, e.g. `ImGui_ImplDX11_NewFrame()` calls it.
|
||||
|
||||
**If you use custom glyphs ranges, make sure the array is persistent** and available during the calls to `GetTexDataAsAlpha8()/GetTexDataAsRGBA32()/Build()`.

||||

|
||||
## About Filenames
|
||||
|
||||
**Please note that many new C/C++ users have issues loading their files _because the filename they provide is wrong_ due to incorrect assumption of what is the current directory.**
|
||||
|
||||
Two things to watch for:
|
||||
|
||||
(1) In C/C++ and most programming languages if you want to use a backslash `\` within a string literal, you need to write it double backslash `\\`. At it happens, Windows uses backslashes as a path separator, so be mindful.
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("MyFiles\MyImage01.jpg", ...); // This is INCORRECT!!
|
||||
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("MyFiles\\MyImage01.jpg", ...); // This is CORRECT
|
||||
```
|
||||
In some situations, you may also use `/` path separator under Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) Make sure your IDE/debugger settings starts your executable from the right working (current) directory. In Visual Studio you can change your working directory in project `Properties > General > Debugging > Working Directory`. People assume that their execution will start from the root folder of the project, where by default it often starts from the folder where object or executable files are stored.
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("MyImage01.jpg", ...); // Relative filename depends on your Working Directory when running your program!
|
||||
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("../MyImage01.jpg", ...); // Load from the parent folder of your Working Directory
|
||||
```

||||

## About UTF-8 Encoding
|
||||
|
||||
**For non-ASCII characters display, a common user issue is not passing correctly UTF-8 encoded strings.**
|
||||
|
||||
(1) We provide a function `ImGui::DebugTextEncoding(const char* text)` which you can call to verify the content of your UTF-8 strings.
|
||||
This is a convenient way to confirm that your encoding is correct.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
ImGui::SeparatorText("CORRECT");
|
||||
ImGui::DebugTextEncoding(u8"こんにちは");
|
||||
|
||||
ImGui::SeparatorText("INCORRECT");
|
||||
ImGui::DebugTextEncoding("こんにちは");
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can also find this tool under `Metrics/Debuggers->Tools->UTF-8 Encoding viewer` if you want to paste from clipboard, but this won't validate the UTF-8 encoding done by your compiler.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) To encode in UTF-8:
|
||||
|
||||
There are also compiler-specific ways to enforce UTF-8 encoding by default:
|
||||
|
||||
- Visual Studio compiler: `/utf-8` command-line flag.
|
||||
- Visual Studio compiler: `#pragma execution_character_set("utf-8")` inside your code.
|
||||
- Since May 2023 we have changed the Visual Studio projects of all our examples to use `/utf-8` ([see commit](https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/commit/513af1efc9080857bbd10000d98f98f2a0c96803)).
|
||||
|
||||
Or, since C++11, you can use the `u8"my text"` syntax to encode literal strings as UTF-8. e.g.:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
ImGui::Text(u8"hello");
|
||||
ImGui::Text(u8"こんにちは"); // this will always be encoded as UTF-8
|
||||
ImGui::Text("こんにちは"); // the encoding of this is depending on compiler settings/flags and may be incorrect.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Since C++20, because the C++ committee hate its users, they decided to change the `u8""` syntax to not return `const char*` but a new type `const char_t*` which doesn't cast to `const char*`.
|
||||
Because of type usage of `u8""` in C++20 is a little more tedious:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
ImGui::Text((const char*)u8"こんにちは");
|
||||
```
|
||||
We suggest using a macro in your codebase:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define U8(_S) (const char*)u8##_S
|
||||
ImGui::Text(U8("こんにちは"));
|
||||
```

## Debug Tools
|
||||
|
||||
#### Metrics/Debugger->Fonts
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- You can use the `UTF-8 Encoding viewer` in `Metrics/Debugger` to verify the content of your UTF-8 strings. From C/C++ code, you can call `ImGui::DebugTextEncoding("my string");` function to verify that your UTF-8 encoding is correct.
|
||||
#### UTF-8 Encoding Viewer**
|
||||
You can use the `UTF-8 Encoding viewer` in `Metrics/Debugger` to verify the content of your UTF-8 strings. From C/C++ code, you can call `ImGui::DebugTextEncoding("my string");` function to verify that your UTF-8 encoding is correct.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- All loaded fonts glyphs are rendered into a single texture atlas ahead of time. Calling either of `io.Fonts->GetTexDataAsAlpha8()`, `io.Fonts->GetTexDataAsRGBA32()` or `io.Fonts->Build()` will build the atlas.
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure your font ranges data are persistent (available during the calls to `GetTexDataAsAlpha8()`/`GetTexDataAsRGBA32()/`Build()`.
|
||||
|
||||
- Use C++11 u8"my text" syntax to encode literal strings as UTF-8. e.g.:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
u8"hello"
|
||||
u8"こんにちは" // this will be encoded as UTF-8
|
||||
```
