Applying" 「" and "」" to text

[andrewngn13]

It might seem a bit odd, but I've gotten pretty used to visual novels using 「」 to distinguish between what is spoken out loud and what's a characters thoughts. Putting these characters in only gets me a box to show up though. How can I fix that?

Be sure that your font has those characters.
You can use what_prefix and what_suffix in the character definitions to have this kind of things done automatically.

I've found a font with support for the characters, MS Gothic. However, setting the font for all characters say will still show up as a box.

Code: Select all

style say_label font "MS Gothic.ttf"

When creating the character with what_font though, the character shows up properly.

Code: Select all

define l = Character('Lena', color="#c8ffc8", ctc="ctc_blink", what_font="MS Gothic.ttf")

The characters in question being 「」. Am I going to have to create every character with a what_font argument to get my characters to show up properly?

[xavimat]

Code: Select all

style say_label font "MS Gothic.ttf"

I think that code is not correct. Try to find the correct style definition (I'm no good with styles)

No, you can just define it once in the special character name adv.

Code: Select all

define adv = Character(None, what_prefix='"', what_suffix='"')

and all adv characters will inherit the definitions (like a what_prefix and/or what_suffix). Please note you need to do so for the narrator character and eventally nvl character.

...in case nothing solve the issue.
