| Chinese translation released, see attachment.
Quote we can only use the characters that appears in the text. I think 1024*1024 is enough.
Shall we wait for your next update to support the large font texture?

I have posted here: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/17-1621-36130-16-1389538735 , but it seems you didn't noticed...
Hi SpaceEngineer, we've done the Chinese translation, but it seems that the font texture is limited to 256*256, but the Chinese contains thousands of characters, how can we do it? Can you help us?
Regrads,
Freeman

| Freeman, you don't need to create a new thread with your old post if you think that no one noticed it, in this case you could send him a PM.

| It's okay Salvo, this thread will be renamed to Chinese localization thread.
Freeman, some work must be done to make support of many characters set in SE. You may work on a huge font texture now. BTW I heard that Chinese didn't use all 28000 characters, it is possible to limit language to 8000 or even 3000 characters. Is it true?

| Also as a Chinese speaking person, yes that is true.
However, you'll want to plan ahead so that the font-atlas contains only the glyphs needed by this program. But the problem would be any future update potentially incurs changes to the font-atlas, and that's actually quite annoying.
If it's possible I would say using FreeType library and implement the true unicode UI text and get a GPL licensed (with font exception clause) TrueType font.

| My suggestion is to use a library with a license that suits SE to do text rendering (or possibly better, use a library for GUI rendering in general, such as Qt which has an LGPL option I believe) These are things that have been implemented many times. I can't think of any reasons why SE should reinvent wheels that strictly are irrelevant for what SE is. Perhaps except ownership, control of code, but it's not a particular good reason in my opinion. If SE is to become an SDK, then ad hoc, repeatedly patched, non-standard ways of doing things might come back and haunt the overall usability.

| Quote midtskogen (  ) such as Qt
Celestia was developing a QT4 interface, I tested out an early build of it. It was certainly gearing up to be a massive improvement for the program. They were also working on HDR, better star rendering, etc. But then development stopped

| SE still don't support unicode, sorry. You are limited to ~200 symbols in the font texture, so it must be hard to make a Chinese localization.
