Abstract

A wagering game machine uses a single character set for displaying text in multiple languages. The character set may also be used for printing materials, such as ticket printing. In one embodiment, the character set comprises Unicode standard characters, where each character in the font is represented by a unique number, which maps to the Unicode standard, regardless of platform. This allows programs that conform to the Unicode standard to deal with text in multiple languages.
