CCLabelBMFont::labelWithString crash

cocos2d-x C++
#1

Hi,

I’m trying to display some latin characters like ‘è’ ‘ò’ ‘à’ using CCLabelBMFont::labelWithString.

Unfortunately I’m getting a crash when I call labelWithString due to a CCAssert which says “FontDefinition could not be found![](”

If I use ASCII fonts everything works fine.
The .fnt file I’m using is created with BMFont and includes latin characters.

Do you what might be the cause?

Many thanks)

You can change the following:

cocos2dx/support/ccUTF8.cpp

#define UTF8_COMPUTE(Char, Mask, Len)        \
if (Char < 128)                \
{                        \
Len = 1;                    \
Mask = 0x7f;                \
}

to:

#define UTF8_COMPUTE(Char, Mask, Len)        \
if (Char < 256)                \
{                        \
Len = 1;                    \
Mask = 0xff;                \
}

Not yet tested if there are any issues with this.
