You are right.

Guess I need to try another PC instead.

Dang, it says my graphics card does not support pixel effect.

You can put the dll with love.exe on windows, works both 0.7.2 and 0.8.0 In 0.7.2, it doesn't work if you place the dll in %appdata%\love, but in 0.8.0 it works.

I don't think it is always needed to manually nil a value, unless the table you mentioned serves as an global cache or something.

What if i have custom unicode characters? The Image Font (if you are talking about your another topic) only supports single-byte characters as its glyphs data. This has not been updated last time when I glanced at the code. So I think you need to wait for a bit longer. Or you can try ttf instead. O...

Hah, thank you. That is far more plenty than what I need, at least it gives me ideas on how to do such rendering.

Yeah, you are right. But I'm using ttf, so things get a bit more complex (the font is not monospace, so probably I have to 'force' it to be by drawing the characters one by one). For example, I want a certain word to be displayed in red. I guess I have to break down the sentence to characters, unles...

Well that depends on what you are working on. If you are dealing with a string cosntant, then there's no problem and your method should be faster than the iterator(maybe) function. I want the game to display a dialogue (like many 2D RPGs do, a box plus some strings), but additionally, I don't want t...

I don't think that always works, if the character is utf-8 encoded (for example that ÿ takes 2 bytes and any Chinese character takes 3 bytes). I figured it out a minute ago though: function utf8iterate(str) return string.gfind(str, "([%z\1-\127\194-\244][\128-\191]*)") end ...blahblah loca...

May I ask a related question? Since we have utf-8 support now, how to get a single character from a utf-8 string? The lua function string.byte doesn't work obviously. --- Edit* OK, I just found a long article about that on the lua site. It appears there's no easy way, except interpreting the string ...
