b4a supports spanish text (ñ, ¿...)?

[Bernie]

Hello:

I am programming a helper for dyslexic people, but letter (ñ) and some symbols (¿,¡) don't work. b4a support Spanish text (drawtext function specifically)? If yes, how?

Thank you very much!!

In what way does it "not work"? Please be more precise.

All characters in Android, and hence B4A, are 16bit Unicode. If the characters cannot be displayed it might be that the specified font does not include those glyphs. My Xoom has no trouble.

Dim C As Canvas
C.Initialize(ImageView1)
C.DrawColor(Colors.White)
C.DrawText("(ñ) (¿,¡) ", 0, 30, Typeface.DEFAULT,32, Colors.Blue, "LEFT") 
ImageView1.Invalidate

Looks like the CODE tags don't like the Spanish characters - the actual DrawText line is

C.DrawText("(ñ) (¿,¡) ", 0, 30, Typeface.DEFAULT,32, Colors.Blue, "LEFT")

Ok. Thanks, Agraham. The problem was in the file, saved in ANSI char set.
