Greetings!

I got a problem when using text objects containing diacritic signs. For

the only program I use which shows this problem, I assume it is a problem
within POV. Is any solution available?
Thanks!!

Thomas

Are you using "global_settings {charset utf8}"?

No, but now that you mention it, I see that default is ascii in
global_settings. I shall try utf8... and read the docs accordingly!
Thanks for the tip, Mike!

  Note that if you use that setting, you then truely have to use utf8
encoding on the scene file (or more precisely, on those text strings
you want to render; the SDL itself just uses ascii, naturally, which is
"utf8-compatible").

  I actually am not completely sure if the winpov editor supports utf8.
My guess is that it doesn't...

Well, I don't know about that, but it works fine indeed, and does what I
want!!
To reconstruct history: The problem arose from a scene in Moray. I have now
"discovered" that in Moray you can actually choose between ascii and utf8
settings. After all those years, I just overlooked it.
