Having problem with fonts in Localization

intellipro21

I am using "Localization" class developed by @ar2rsawseen , I am able to use it but in some languages I face problem with fonts.
i.e In some languages if I use the fonts which I have it shows blank area instead of that text , like if I have written "sounds" using abc.ttf then it will work for some languages but for others it displays blank.

Is there any special font which can be used for all the languages?
I need my game to be localized for english,russian,german,spanish,french especially.

@intellipro21 you need to make sure that font you are using also supports locale you want to use.
Some fonts support only Latin alphabet, others may support more

@ar2rsawseen how to know if the fonts are supporting the locale which I want?
can u suggest the fonts which supports all the locale which I mentioned above?

There was one experimental project like:
https://code.google.com/p/noto/

supporting all unicode characters
but don't know if it is feasible

I usually just open up font in Windows, which opens font manager and shows all characters so I can check if the ones I want to support are there or not

I found fontForge very useful to edit fonts and manually add missing characters: updated Windows binaries available at first link.
