Problems with Characters in title name of card

[rodrigodemoura]

Hi guys.
I start to make all magic cards in brazil portuguese language.

But I have a problem with Title name. look

How I can solve this?

There's no easy solution. You need to edit the font file and add those missing glyphs. This has been done before by some French folk, because before it only has alphanumeric glyphs (A-Z,a-z,0-9).

Just to ask a related question, when I add a list of cards that have funny characters in (for example a card with Lim-Dûl in it) the generatecards.bat gets all angry at me

I made a list of all Non-Un Cards (yeah, it's big ) and get this error:

ERROR: Unable to parse decklist

Is there any way I can edit the bat file or scripts or something to allow for these cards to keep the correct letters? I have gone and edited the decklist to replace the accented letters with normal ones, but that annoys me since the proxies then are incorrect! I know I could manually make them, but I am lazy.

So, tl;dr is there a way to do it? If not, thanks for the work anyway!

Yes, I've patched the names so you will have all those listed cards with correct accents. This means however that you need to go trough your decklist and remove those accents, so that the file will be parsed correctly ex. Lim-Dûl's Hex to Lim-Dul's Hex.
I also noticed that those names dont' have accents in the legal text however this means you have to reimport GH MWS masterbase.

Excellent stuff. I'll let you know how it works when I get round to it.

Edit: Works perfectly. Simply change the accented letter to a normal one (Or Æ to AE) and it sorts it.

Shame about the rules text, but that's not an issue with the gen, and the Cards.csv is easy enough to edit manually.

Sorry for the double post, but is there any way (or chance of a patch for internet hugs ) to get the generator to render all instances of il- and en- as Italic in Rules (Pre and post 8th), names (post 8th) and as non Italic in Flavour text? (for eg. Mage il-Vec,Ranger en- Vec or Spirit en- Dal )

[Snacko]

Italics in name already work however you need an italic font (there's no matrix bold italic and php doesn't support fake italics). If you manage to convert the font to italic then you can change the configuration file config-eighth.txt to like font.title = 35, MatrixB.ttf/MatrixBI.ttf>GaramondB.ttf/GaramondBI.ttf , where the font after the slash is used for italics.
In rules is easy add this in the card specific section of MasterBase.php

Code: Select all

$legal = str_replace('en-', '#en#-', $legal);
$legal = str_replace('il-', '#il#-', $legal);


and reimport GH masterbase (instructions in misc/import)

[BaconCatBug]

Absolutely perfect you are!

I solved the problem by just using GaramondBI for the italic title text (since I am not gonna shell out for matrix!)

Works perfectly, thank you.

Now all we need are 4 ability planeswalkers and Futureshifted cards! -coughcough-

I kid, I kid. You have done epic work and I thank you with all my soul, heart and bagels.
