How to enter international text?

I can’t enter Russian letters into text object. Blender just ignores them. Why?

Also Russian filenames etc are displayed incorrectly.

Is this a bug?

In theory, you should be able to do it directly if you have a russian keyboard.

If not, type whatever you want in the Text Editor and create a new text from there. (I just tested, it works.)


You can also press [TAB] to edit the text and import a file from there.

BUT the font must support cyrillic characters first! Something that the default font in Blender doesn’t. It is very limited. Change it for something a little more… advanced. :wink:
