A freely-distributable Chinese font:
(Fireflysung) http://www.linuxhall.org/images/upload/

And some freely-distributable Japanese fonts:
(Sazanami) http://sourceforge.jp/projects/efont/
(VL Gothic) http://dicey.org/vlgothic/

Don't worry about a thing; you don't have to rely on whether or not someone has the right fonts on their system.

My only gripes with these fonts are that they don't display properly at very small sizes (read: the save screen on 640x480), so these fonts would only be useful in an 800x600 game.

Still, though, as long as your game is 800x600, there's absolutely no need to worry about the fonts bugging out.

Just thought I'd add something useful.

When I use Ren'Py, the character's name can't be displayed in Chinese.
How to solve the problem? :?:

Use a unicode python string when writing the character's name:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ zh = Character(u"郑和")

If that's representative of Sigmaxion's game that is so going to kick butt.

If you can understand Chinese that is...

(The screenshot says something like this:
NVL Character: This is NVL mode.
NVL Character: This some dummy text. This is some dummy text too. This
is yet another piece of dummy text. This is still some other dummy text.
)
No, I don't like Ren'ai games.
But Ren'Py is not only another Ren'ai game Engine.
