Accents, special characters etc...

[roscminni]

Does anybody know what the best way to get accents or special characters to work with the text object?

 

I have set the meta tag in my index.html to UTF-8, but I still have no luck,

 

Thanks.

Could you try this? :

window.onload = function () {    var game = new Phaser.Game(800, 600, Phaser.AUTO, 'phaser-example', { preload: preload, create: create, update: update});    function preload() {    }    function create() {        var text = "- phaser -\n  áéíóú ÁÉÍÓÚ ñÑ";        var style = { font: "65px Arial", fill: "#ff0044", align: "center" };        var t = game.add.text(game.world.centerX-300, 0, text, style);    }        function update() {    }};

Thanks for your reply.

 

I tried that code using a separate html file, and the characters were still coming out as <?> blocks.

I have used Phaser with Spanish text and it works perfectly well. I think it has nothing to do with Phaser but with the HTML files. As you said, you should use in the header:

 

<meta charset="utf-8" />

 

But that is not enough, take into account that your text editor should be able to save your HTML file in UTF-8. Probably, the 'meta' says your 'charset' is UTF-8 but the file it is not.

Thanks PhaserFan, that was the answer.

 

I'm using eclipse with the aptana plugin, which seems to default to CP1252 charset - which is odd because I aptana is for web development and UTF-8 is the most common charset used. Strange.

in some servers i have to create a .htaccess file with :

AddDefaultCharset utf-8
