Need help with some code (C)

[XTankSlayerX]

Well, I think this is C... Must be confusing the name with other languages.

 

Anyways.

 

I've been coding a pebble watchface, and im pretty much done except the colon on the time dosnt show up right...

 

Any ideas? I really want to use the WAN Show font (8Bit Wonders)

From the looks of it that font doesn't have a colon character. Could you split it into 3 strings using the font you want for the numbers and a different font for just the colon?

Show some code, but you may have to escape the character by placing a backslash in front of it depending on which language it's actually in.

EDIT: First thing I've coded, its more of a mod to a tutorial rather than 100% my own code.
