Making World Editor read Cyrillic

[NhazUl]

I don't know if this thread belongs in the WEHZ forum, but whatever. So... is there a way that I make Warcraft (EN) read stuff written in Cyrillic alphabet WITHOUT reinstalling it in Russian? Because when I write something in cyrillic, you know that it shows blank space ingame.

Well this partial belongs to this Section.

What you have done is allowing the Russian/Foreign language filter in Wc3.
If you start up Wc3, you are in the menu, head to Options. Now try to find the ''Filter Russian'' button or whatever it's called. It's there.

The only thing I could find is setting the chat filter in Gameplay Options, and it includes only Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional, but not Russian. And I want to set the game itself read Cyrillic, such as unit names, game messages, quest descriptions etc.

Bump... Guys, I really need help for this.

Try this fix. It swaps Fonts\FrizQT__.ttf to one that has cyrillic. I use it on my EN version and all russian is displayed correctly.

To install just put the extracted folder to wc3 root folder and run Update.bat. After that you may delete the extracted folder.

Says "Cannot open War3.mpq". I tried to import the file in the MPQ using PowerMPQ 1.4, but it gave me some runtime error...

When I imported the font with a path "Fonts\FRIZQT__TTF" it did not work, and later crashed the WE which cannot even run now.

Well, that's strange, it was tested on english and german versions and never caused any crashes or bugs.

I reinstalled the WE, worked this time. A great Thank you, +rep.
