Right now, you can install proper international fonts on Bangle.js (eg for Korean): https://banglejs.com/apps/?c=fonts
Due to the limited storage on the Bangle and the huge number of characters (sometimes 50,000) we can't have them in a bunch of different sizes, so the fonts end up being relatively small (16px) and aren't very scalable (16px is quite small, doubling to 32px is a bit too big)
With the current firmware (2v26) if
g.findFont
has been used (eg for menus/dialogs/etc) one of the nice built-in fonts will be chosen if all the characters can be rendered. If they can't, the international font will be used.But the Messages app is a bit of an outlier here. If an international font is installed, it'll be used in the Messages app regardless of whether one of the built-in fonts could have been used instead...
Any thoughts?
