Re: [ft] Rendering chinese characters

[daya.k58]

Hi mpsuzuki,
using ftview ,I m able to see BMP characters,But  my intention is to display 
chinese characters in non-BMP plane.......

when I give  the following command
 ftview  -m '豈' font ming.ttf  ,I m able to display the character  as this 
character belongs BMP plane...
ftview -m 'text' fontfile 
In ftview  ,is there any  option to give 'unicode point' as argument?
(because in the place of text in ftview command ,I have to copy the  equivalent 
character of 0x00027267,which I am not able to.....I m able copy only 
squares!!! ) 

Thanks in adv...............

Thanks& Regards,
Daya

In addition, if you're working on Unix like systems, please try "ftview" 
command.
It will show the glyphs in the font without consideration if they are 
accessible via some character code,
so it might be helpful to know if the font supports non-BMP characters.
