NAME

       usetc - Low level helper function for writing Unicode text data. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int usetc(char *s, int c);

DESCRIPTION

       Low level helper function for writing Unicode text data. Writes the character `c' to the address pointed to by `s'.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the number of bytes written, which is equal to the width of the character in the current encoding format.

set_uformat(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					      set_uformat(3alleg4)

NAME

       set_uformat - Set the global current text encoding format. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void set_uformat(int type);

DESCRIPTION

       Sets the current text encoding format. This will affect all parts of Allegro, wherever you see a function that returns a char *, or takes a
       char * as a parameter. `type' should be one of these values:

	  U_ASCII     - fixed size, 8-bit ASCII characters
	  U_ASCII_CP  - alternative 8-bit codepage (see set_ucodepage())
	  U_UNICODE   - fixed size, 16-bit Unicode characters
	  U_UTF8      - variable size, UTF-8 format Unicode characters

       Although you can change the text format on the fly, this is not a good idea. Many strings, for example the names of your  hardware  drivers
       and  any  language  translations, are loaded when you call allegro_init(), so if you change the encoding format after this, they will be in
       the wrong format, and things will not work properly. Generally you should only call set_uformat() once,	before	allegro_init(),  and  then
       leave it on the same setting for the duration of your program.
