DS development > Japanese Font Display Question

#86096 - Magitek - Sun Jun 04, 2006 12:51 pm

I was wondering if it is possible to use the Japanese syllabaries of Hirgana and Katakana using the standard print functions. Would I use Unicode? Custom font?

And if there is Japanese font support, is there kanji too?

You would need a custom font to display kana. The Nintendo DS allows kana in nicknames; I'd guess that the iQue DS (Chinese version) also allows kanji given that Chinese is written with all kanji.
