I need the game to be able to draw_text characters like čšŧŋđž.

Is there a way to get them into the game, or is limited to the 255?

You can add arbitrary (Unicode) ranges to a font resource using the "plus" and "minus" buttons, but the font should have the characters that you want to draw.

A better way would be to include the font as a TTF file, then use font_add() to create the font at runtime. This will set up a dynamic font that generates glyphs on request. You then draw UTF-8 text and this will render the required glyph.

This worked great! Thank you.
