Q: How can I display and input non-Latin characters such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Cyrillic?
A: When loading a font, pass custom Unicode ranges to specify the glyphs to load.
All your strings needs to use UTF-8 encoding. Specifying literal in your source code using a local code page (such as CP-923 for Japanese or CP-1251 for Cyrillic) will not work.
In C++11 you can encode a string literal in UTF-8 by using the u8"hello" syntax. Otherwise you can convert yourself to UTF-8 or load text data from file already saved as UTF-8.
You can also try to remap your local codepage characters to their Unicode codepoint using font->AddRemapChar(), but international users may have problems reading/editing your source code.
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("myfontfile.ttf", size_in_pixels, NULL, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesJapanese()); // Load Japanese characters
io.Fonts->GetTexDataAsRGBA32() or GetTexDataAsAlpha8()
io.ImeWindowHandle = MY_HWND; // To input using Microsoft IME, give ImGui the hwnd of your application
// Add default Japanese ranges
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("myfontfile.ttf", size_in_pixels, NULL, io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesJapanese());
// Or create your own custom ranges (e.g. for a game you can feed your entire game script and only build the characters the game need)
ImVector<ImWchar> ranges;
ImFontAtlas::GlyphRangesBuilder builder;
builder.AddText("Hello world"); // Add a string (here "Hello world" contains 7 unique characters)
builder.AddChar(0x7262); // Add a specific character
builder.AddRanges(io.Fonts->GetGlyphRangesJapanese()); // Add one of the default ranges
builder.BuildRanges(&ranges); // Build the final result (ordered ranges with all the unique characters submitted)
io.Fonts->AddFontFromFileTTF("myfontfile.ttf", size_in_pixels, NULL, ranges.Data);
As for text input, depends on you passing the right character code to io.AddInputCharacter(). The example applications do that.
All your strings needs to use UTF-8 encoding. In C++11 you can encode a string literal in UTF-8 by using the u8"hello" syntax.
Specifying literal in your source code using a local code page (such as CP-923 for Japanese or CP-1251 for Cyrillic) will NOT work!
Otherwise you can convert yourself to UTF-8 or load text data from file already saved as UTF-8.
Text input: it is up to your application to pass the right character code to io.AddInputCharacter(). The applications in examples/ are doing that.
For languages using IME, on Windows you can copy the Hwnd of your application to io.ImeWindowHandle. The default implementation of io.ImeSetInputScreenPosFn() on Windows will set your IME position correctly.
Q: How can I preserve my ImGui context across reloading a DLL? (loss of the global/static variables)
A: Create your own context 'ctx = CreateContext()' + 'SetCurrentContext(ctx)' and your own font atlas 'ctx->GetIO().Fonts = new ImFontAtlas()' so you don't rely on the default globals.
