Currently, Roku is only set up to display single-byte western European characters. For multibyte UTF8 support, you can use the image canvas, however, there's currently a bug that prevents it for working correctly. We expect to have that bug resolved shortly. Also, you will have to supply your own ttf or otf font file.
Patrick,
UTF8 support would be incredible. I've been using custom utf8 fonts in my applications and the it is never rendered correctly. Was it ever supposed to work (bug) -- or is this a new feature? In order for image canvas to display utf8 strings, does that also mean that roXMLParser will also support utf8? From my interactions (and various inconsistencies) -- it seems that the xml parser already supports non-ASCII characters to a certain degree. I noticed that I could get certain special characters (like copyright) to display on the poster screens, etc. -- but not on other screens (search, image canvas, etc.).
Thanks,
RT
