Hello guys. I am using SGDK and programming some spanish stuff and i need some special characters like 'ñ'. '¡' or '¿'. How can i show these characters with VDP_drawText? Which characters can i print with VDP_drawText or other function?
Thanks.

I'm afraid you'll have to draw your own font...

Or just replace unused characters by your new in memory...

This is the easiest way, to use it with VDP_drawText().

To preserve vram sgdk only use a 96 font characters with the default ascii charset (no accent). You can override the default font with VDP_loadFont(..) but you should look the default font implementation and probably replace some specials characters with yours.
