How do i get a custom font to work for my language?

[Ace_C]

Basically i am adding my native language to the game, but it has an entirely different writing system so when i load up the game everything that i translated shows up blank. Does anyone know how to add the font specific to my language?

What is your native language? That is important.

There is a texture named font.dds and it contains characters of various writing systems. If your translated lines do not show up, then there is a chance your characters are not supported. There is a way to add them though by modding.

I'm trying to add Georgian. I checked out the font file and it seems complicated, is there any tutorial or guide somewhere on the internet i can follow to edit it properly?

I think Georgian is not supported by the default font texture. You can, however, add it by following this tutorial: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index...-game-fonts-—-step-by-step-w-pictures.290946/. Note that you must have a font set with Georgian characters, needless to say.

Use standard Unicode code points that you can link custom glyphs. You could, for example, use the A-Z and a-z codes and change them with your own words. After that, you'd keep typing with your font on a standard English keyboard.
There's no doubt that this is true for other writing systems. You need to press alpha through omega (-) on a Greek keyboard, while on a Russian keyboard, you need to press a-.
Unicode's "Private Use Area" codepoints can be used (PUA). These places have been set aside for people to do as they please. In some ways, it's a good match. However, until you make a separate "keyboard" driver for it, you won't be able to use it to write.
