How to use flutter-pi to choose chinese

[tsuiwade]

First of all thank you for your dedication.

I followed your steps and used the gallery on my raspberrypi4.

When I select locale as chinese, the text will display ☐ ☐ ☐.

I am a newbie in this area, so I would like to ask for advice.

1. I installed the Raspberry Pi desktop system, and there is no problem with Chinese fonts displayed on the desktop system.

2. I followed your method and set the Raspberry Pi to start in the console mode. At this time, the Chinese I displayed is also ☐☐. I don't know if this is the problem.

3. I have installed Chinese ttf according to the method on the Internet, and set the locale to zh_CN.utf8.

I don’t know what went wrong. Raspberry Pi system or console mode or flutter-pi or gallery program.
Thank you!

I have no idea how flutter resolves fonts, but I think this not something related to flutter-pi. You can try opening an issue on the flutter repo or asking in the #help section of the flutter discord

I solved this problem by using Custom-Fonts in flutter, You can use Chinese font .ttf file,
I passed the test on Raspberry Pi 4B, It works great.

@ardera Thank you for your selfless dedication, this is great！

Closing this now

Thank you!
I downloaded the 'FontCreator' software and checked the default GalleryIcons.ttf font, not including Chinese.
So I changed to a file with Chinese font and it was successful！
