How can we able to change the size of Chinese characters in pinyin layout

Question

Hi,

How can we able to change the font size of Chinese characters independently.

Currently it is taking the font size of text editor. I need to give a separate font  resource for pinyin.

I need to give the font used in keyboard for the pinyin layout also.

Also how can we able to change the size of pinyin layout?

Hi,

to set a different font resource at the pinyin preview you can set at the property 'font' inside PinyinInput::CharacterPreviewClass your font ressource. Make sure that it does not get overwritten anymore by the texteditor font by removing:

font = context.Font;

from PinyinInput::CharacterPreviewClass.onEvent.

You can change the layout of the pinyin preview inside the composer of PinyinInput::CharacterPreviewPinyinAndKeyboardClass. Some bounds might be aligned programmatically so please also have a look at the functions there especially UpdateViewState(). The property 'InputPreviewOffset' inside ExtendedVirtualKeyboard::Keyboard controls on which height the pinyin preview gets displayed.

One warning about adding a lot more font resources that also contains huge font ranges like those chinese character. Those can need a lot of flash memory. If this resource is limit on your target hardware, its always a good idea to check the build report and check whether the gui can fit into the flash of your target.

Best regards,
