How do I print utf-8 strings?

[wwforever]

Thank you for the nice module.
I'm going to use it for my project now.
But I want to know how to do utf-8 string output.
In case of imgui, you can refer to the following links.
ocornut/imgui#645

By the way, I want to output korean.
When I take a quick look at DearPyGui, I can't see the font-related processing functions.
Thank you very much.

Hi. We are currently working on this. We’ve received a few messages related to fonts (and outputting Chinese actually). This support should be added within a few weeks at most. If you don’t mind, please go to our sub reddit And vote on fonts for the next feature! We have a poll there!

And thanks for using DearPyGui and for being active and reaching out! We really appreciate it!

I will wait slowly for font features.
Thank you.

Do you have a particular font or ttf file I can use for testing? I plan on getting Korean into DearPyGui tonight

Hey there, just found this issue because I was wondering the same thing.

You can check out the open-source Google Noto fonts project here: https://www.google.com/get/noto/

Search for "CJK" and you can find CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) fonts there to test with.

Sounds good. I plan on having the issue feature added tonight

We are planning on pushing out the update tonight. Here are some of the results showing japanese:

You can use the following command (which will be in the documentation and wiki):

# file: ttf or otf, I am including one in the resource folder on github
# size: size of font
# glyph_ranges: "korean" or "japanese" or "chinese_full" or "chinese_simplified_common" etc.
add_additional_font(file, size, glyph_ranges)
