hi,

how would one display utf8 text with the sdk? basically I have some vietnamese text parsed from an xml file, when added as a description to the roPosterScreen it doesn't render properly. are Vietnamese text supported?

another question is with the nhl gamecenter live the poster screen have the match up art work, team @ team, would I need to use the roImageCanvas for this and are ther any code sample for this?

thanks amd happy holidays.

Most components are ASCII only.

Most likely, they just have static images for all the necessary combinations in the cloud and the API delivers the appropriate one to the channel for each game.

thanks for the answer Chris. maybe I'll find a way to sanitize the text. I did a tcpdump to see how the image is being pulled in, wow 900ish jpg, one for each matchup...
