Hello again my fellow wintermuters,

in what might very well be my last post here I present you the following problem:

We've used an ANSI encoded string.tab for a long time. Recently, we've updated this to an UTF-8 encoded string.tab. Ever since then, some special characters, most notably the German "ä", "ö" and "ü" cannot be displayed, not even by the System font for Game.Msg(). Switching back to the ANSI encoded .tab solves that, so this is definitely an issue with the UTF-8 encoded .tab file. I have no idea how to circumvent that.

Are you using truetype fonts?

Also make sure the string table is saved with BOM so that WME recognizes it as UTF-8 format.

I tried it with my own game too and after saving all my string tables with BOM i had no more trouble with the Umlauts in UTF-8 either. So it should work, theflash Thanks Mnemonic for the hint.

Yes.

How would I do this? I use Windows' Notepad. I googled it, by didn't find any information on HOW to save with BOM.
