Language Resources & CustomFont

hye everyone

So I could find a trick to do it,

May be is well known for master dev but in case there are beginner like me ,I put the method I found.

First, after many test I figured out that to use less memory in case of custom font,

it's better to have 1 custom font for each language than 1 with all characters.

let's take latin and cyrillic (russian) as exemple.

1. Create 2 font files (with BMfont)

 - CustomFont and CustomFontRUS

put them in \resources\Fonts\

2. in \Resources\Fonts\Fonts.xml

put 

<fonts>
	<font id="customFont" filename="CustomFont.fnt"/>
	<font id="customFontRUS" filename="CustomFontRUS.fnt"/>
</fonts>

3. in \resources\strings\strings.xml

put 

<string id="LANG">Global</string>

4. Creat \resources-rus\ folder

inside it create strings.xml and put inside

<string id="LANG">RUS</string>

5. Inside \source\SHNTacticalView.mc (the name or you app)

inside "function initialize()" put or add

        switch (Ui.loadResource(Rez.Strings.LANG)) {
    		case "RUS" : {
				customFontS = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Fonts.customFontRUS);
    			break;}
    		default:
			customFontS = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Fonts.customFont);
			break;
		}

This method cannot be tested in the simulator but it does work on watchface

May be an other method exists a simpler one but this one works and memory is saved.

I hope it will help.

Have a good day.
