RE: [Devel] Working with Shift-JIS encoded characters?

[Frank Faubert]

Hello,

Thank you very much for your reply.  That is indeed the Japanese sentence that 
I would like to render.  However, if I pass each of those hex codes through to 
FT_Get_Char_Index, garbage (mostly a bunch of squares) is rendered instead of 
the proper glyphs.  I'm guessing that I somehow need to transform the Shift-JIS 
into something else before I pass it to FT_Get_Char_Index, but I am not sure 
what.

At this point I'd be happy to read any documentation on the subject, even if it 
is not in English.

Thank you again,
-Frank

8DC5 8F89 82C9 897B 9797 82B3 82EA 82BD 8379 815B 8357

The result is the following Japanese sentence.

I do not know any english documents on the web.  But the encoding rule
is faily simple.

* ASCII or JIS Roman
byte range              0x20 - 0x7f
* Half width katakana
byte range              0xa1 - 0xdf
* JISX0208
first byte range        0x80 - 0x9f, 0xe0 - 0xef
