Non-English font support

Hello. Does this plug-in also support bitmap fonts in other languages other than English? I wonder if it can be Korean or Japanese. What I want is a 2k3 style font.

Hi there!

It supports other languages than english. I believe mostly ocidental languages. I'm really not sure if it supports Korean or Japanese... I never tested it. 

Because currently the plugin uses the characters as a key object to stores their bitmap. Like:

FontBitmaps: {
 A: new Bitmap(A),
 B: new Bitmap(B),
 2: new Bitmap(2),
 !: new Bitmap(!),
}

And so on. I just don't know if a japanese or koren characters could be used like that. If not, probably there is a character code to be used instead of the character. I just don't know if I will have the time to implement this right now.

Thank you for your response, I'll try to find another way. Have a nice day!
