UTF-8 Support is Needed
I would first thank you for your work on this freeware, which will help me a lot in my future adventures. I'm currently trying to translate the default files in French, but the accented characters display is bugged. If I encode the file in UTF-8, the file won't be loaded (Error at line 1: Unidentified character "Ï"), and I encode it in UTF-8 Without BOM, it will load but with bugged characters. I'm using Notepad++ to edit the files. Could you please fix this bug, or if I did anything wrong, redirect me on the good way to do this?
option.lst seems to be not affected by this bug, it's by default in ANSI and accented characters works with it. But the .bis are still bugged with that even in ANSI (it will do the same as UTF-8 w\ BOM). Could it come from the police? I'll test with the custom font from Delta Green's sheet and edit my post.
It doesn't come from the police, since Delta Green's sheet uses a different one and has the same problem.
I found this: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html It explains that a string must be created with wchar_t in order to use UTF-8.
I also found in SheetDrawInfo, line 125, something that could be linked to our issue. (DEFAULT_CHARSET).
In SheetCommand is the drawtext command used in the scripts.
DarKobalt has discovered a workaround, by using ANSI for the character sheets.
That said, UTF-8 support is definitely still a needed feature.
