DS development > Questions: App internationalization/fonts?

#81034 - waruwaru - Wed Apr 26, 2006 8:54 pm

There are some requests for my project to be more accessible internationally. So, I have some questions on how to make an app that can be localized:

1. Looks like there are some fonts inside of the firmware, is there anyway to access those directly? I can get system language enum, but are there any other information that I can get from the system?

2. Looking at MoonShell's source code, looks like it has a settable codepage, and it does conversion between local code page to unicode when necessary. Does the DS have a standard code page, or is it just a Nintendo specific thing?

It would be great if anyone can point me to any info/doc/links/tutorial/resources.

Thanks!
