Hi @王 秀峰​,

You simply need to specify a typography that uses a chinese font of your choice in the "Texts" tab of TouchGFX Designer. You can load the glyph for each individual key if it is present in the font (The fontconverter will check the assets/texts.xlsx sheet and generate only the referenced glyphs).

Please check the keyboard example from the designer for some inspiration on how to do this.

Re: The Keyboard Example (Uses the Keyboard class - touchgfx/widgets/Keyboard.hpp). This is from a pre-designer release of touchgfx and it hasn't been modernized so you won't be able to see the Text tab in the designer. But you can simply open the assets/texts.xlsx sheet to see how the typographies (with wildcards) are defined.

Wildcard ranges: a-z, A-Z, 0-9 (Used to easily specify a range of unicodes to generate)

Wildcard characters: !�?"#*%&()'$+-@_, .:;?/~±×÷•º`´{}©£€^®¥_=[]¡¢|\¿>< (Allows you to be more specific about which glyphs to generate without generating too many)

Hope this helps.
