Title: Special characters on Linux and MacOS
Post by: Nop on July 08, 2008, 16:53:12
Hi!

My application uses LWJGL for handling text input. On Windows, using international special characters, in this case the German letters ä ö ü ß, works fine.

All users of Linux and MacOS have reported that their installation works great, except for such special characters, which cannot be entered or can only be entered after previously pressing Shift or Backspace.

I am using version 1.1.4 .
Has someone encountered this problem? Is their anything special to do for text input in Linux or MacOS?

I don't know about text input by keyboard I suppose. I know that there is an issue loading text files. You need to set the codification of the file if you are using InputStreamReader. I'm from Spain and I have special characters too.

I am aware of the transformations done on text files. But in this case, there is no file I/O involved. I am taking the characters directly from the Keyboard class and the only work properly on windows.
