I've bought RPG maker a few days ago and I've done plenty of experiments and its really cool!

problem is Im trying to surprise my friends with a game based on them,english isn't our native language so some of them will have difficulty...

I was wondering if was there a way to change the text on events to another language, Im aiming for hebrew.

I've tried to do so and ingame you see these squares...is it possible to do something like that?

It sounds like the game doesn't have access to the font you are using. Someone brought up a similar question before and while I don't remember exactly how they did the fix I do know it was a change in the main scripts to make the game use the font they wanted.

Wish I could remember the thread title...I'd just direct you there.

The only time I know of that it uses squares instead of the text is if it doesn't have the font or symbols being used.

If that isn't what is going on then you have run into something I have never heard of.

A screenshot of exactly what is happening would help a LOT.

You need to edit the font like I thought.

You need to put that code snippet in the script where she indicated and replace "Arial" with the name of the font you are using.

"Arial" is just the example she used so people would know that is where the font name needs to be. Also, I think it is the default the engine uses.

*EDIT*

The ones included by the default instead of having to be gotten off the local computer are "VL-Gothic-Regular.ttf" and "VL-PGothic-Regular.ttf"

avivg666, please avoid double posting, as it is against the forum rules. You can review our forum rules here. Thank you.

That's exactly the code that's in the link Cadh20000 posted. ;)

But I'm glad that you figured it out by yourself. And with that...
