[OmarAglan]

how can i add arabic

[hrydgard]

If you're on Android, support is coming in the next version as we now support OS-native font rendering.

What about on iOS can we get Arabia language as well?

[OmarAglan]

ok do i have to wait or make something

[hrydgard]

@Omaranwa Wait, or install the latest from the buildbot: https://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp/

@iOS4all not a high priority

[iOS4all]

It's ok bro take your time

@hrydgard Seems to me this is kinda simlar to the one on ppsspp-lang repository, isn't it?

Well, hrydgard/ppsspp-lang#666 is about a difference between the Android and Windows font rendering.

This issue is about an even more significant difference between iOS/SDL and Windows/Android. We don't even use truetype font rendering at all on iOS/SDL.

My chinese friend onelight said that in windows and android version some chinese word is missing.

[hrydgard]

Got some specific example @sum2012 ? Is it in some game, or in the UI?

[sum2012]

@hrydgard In game in network chat room

[hrydgard]

Okay, on which platform?

[sum2012]

windows and android version

With #17780, this should now be better in the UI and similar on Linux and other platforms that use SDL - which might be all of them now?
