Spanish accented chars not working - Ikerkaz - 03-14-2024
Hi to all!
I'm trying to read a TXT with a spanish text, full of accented characters (like á or Á) and obviously our beloved ñ and Ñ
I have loaded a font in memory (with _LOADFONT) and I'm trying to PRINTSTRING my file, but it is impossible. My screen is full of strange characters, and I don't know what to do... I think that it is an "unicode" problem, but I don't understand this thing... sorry
Thank you very much.

Your file is probably encoded in UTF-8.
Read the contents using _READFILE$ and then print it using _UPRINTSTRING using the encoding argument 8.

AMAZING! I didn't know that options in _UPRINTSTRING... in fact, I didn't know this instruction ... (my face is turning red)
Thank you very much
