thank you very much

Awesome work and theme, a really nice theme for a RetroBox.
But, as a French guy, I find it unusable because the font used doesn't come with accentued letters (like éàèù)
So when I scrap everything in French from screenzone, I got missing letters :(

But keep up the great work ! :)

@adu in the art folder of the theme there are 2 font types. Shaka-pow and cabin bold (or something like that). Rename cabin bold font to match Shaka-pow exactly and delete the original shaka-pow font. Restart emulationstation. This will update the font to match the font in the carbon theme which should work for you.

Hi. I might be able to add those accent characters to the font if you'd like. Some may have to be just duplicates of the ordinary letter without the accent but it's better than not displaying at all.

Edit: I just looked at the font in fontforge and as far as I can tell the accent characters are there - at least the capital letter versions are anyway. You're forcing uppercase in the gamelist so not sure why they wouldn't display.

@ruckage thanks for looking into this and for the update!

No problem, I just compared it to the font on my theme and there are quite a few missing actually, I'm not sure why but there always seems to be lots of accent character that appear to be duplicates in fonts (I'm sure there is a reason I just don't know enough about fonts to know why).

I'm happy to have a look at adding these missing characters for you, it should be a simple case of copying and pasting the missing characters.

It's an "emulationstation" problem ;) when ES uppercase, he can't manage accents... Don't know why...
That's why there is an "option" in UXS to uppercase at scrape "before" ES try ^^ and it works ;) (Uppercase accent character...)

Thanks for the info. So does it try to display the lowercase version instead or does it just refuse to show any accent characters in forced uppercase?

screech

When ES try to uppercase, it "delete" accent letter.
When you uppercase in UXS, it put uppercase accent letter in text. so if your font have uppercase accent letter it will be ok ;)

TMNTturtlguy

@ruckage if you would be so kind to do so I will surely use it! Thanks

Edit: per @screech it may not be necesssry?

ruckage

@TMNTturtlguy
Sure, no problem. From what @screech said the main problem is with ES itself completely deleting accent characters if uppercase is forced.
I think I have a solution though, what I suggest is that you stop forcing uppercase in the gamelist and I will add in the lower case accent characters that are missing (just copies of the uppercase characters). I can also copy all the uppercase characters into the lowercase characters so the gamelist will essentially look identical to how it is now with uppercase forced.

Does that sound okay?

TMNTturtlguy

@ruckage that sounds awesome! Thank you so much!

I've finished editing the font and it seems to work well. I also added in some completely missing characters by editing some existing characters (things like 'thorn', 'Sharp s' and a few others.) and I fixed a few accent characters that were not correct.

Here's a screenshot to show them working (bottom line), don't forget to set <forceUppercase> to 0 for the gamelist.

I've uploaded it to Mega: ShakaPow_allcaps_accents.ttf

@ruckage you are awesome! I will pull this down in a few hours and get it into my next update in a few days! Thanks

WOW! I just found this thread. HUGE Comicbook fan here. And much thanks to you for helping me in my numerous other threads. I didn't really spend time reading each and every post here, but I did a fair amount of glancing through it. This is an amazing theme. I'd love to try and get it to work in my system. Looking through the various examples, it looks like you have screens for everything I have installed, and then some. So it doesn't look like I'd have a lot I need to do other than just install it and select it in ES...

Sorry I'm still kinda newb.. Are there any instuctions on how to install this? I have a 16x9 screen, and no need for marquee/wheels. I hopped over one post saying you were going to release it in 4 ways, 4:3, 16:9, and special edition versions to get those to work. I don't need that, just a simple 16x9. If you could point me in the right direction, that'd be awesome!

Keep up the good work! Once you're done with this, I can't wait to see what you'll do next lol!
