Is this just selectEntry or does it apply to normal entry as well?
Perhaps it is a dupicate of #218

Cannot enter Chinese after

os.Setenv("FYNE_FONT", "xxxxxxxxxxxxx/FangZhengFangSongJianTi-1.ttf")
#73 this problem be solved in 1.3？

[andydotxyz]

Have you tried setting it in your environment instead of SeteEnv?

but Cannot input Chinese by keyboard #73

[andydotxyz]

Thank you this makes sense.
Can you please confirm that, if set using SetText() the SelectEntry does display the characters?
I just want to confirm this is limited to the input isssue #73 :)

Is there any other way to load ttf except environment variables FYNE_FONT

[andydotxyz]

Thank you, but the original report is against SelectEntry, does that behave the same?

[andydotxyz]

Another way to load fonts is using the theme API as recently discussed in #1055 - but if this issue relates to input rather than display then it will not help, as it’s the same result as using environment variables.

Great, thanks for confirming. This seems like it is input-method related then.
Are you using a Chinese keyboard, or other software-based input device on your system?
I guess this relates to an upstream issue in GLFW? glfw/glfw#41
