The textbox for input is now aware of unicode as well. The one remaining problem is using a font that actually contains the required glyphs. I guess the best we can do here is allowing to select a font via the config file, just as with v0.3. This should be simple change. As for the overall state of unicode support: * SDL 1.2 has only limited support for unicode text input. Anything that requires complex input methods is probably not working when using the 1.2 backend. * SDL 1.3 supports full unicode text input. Should be possible to enter any conceivable character using the 1.3 backend. * Internally, the GUI now uses strings in UTF-8 encoding and can thus display any character that is part of the chosen font. * Game data (including the python scripts) should contain plain ASCII only. Translations into other languages via gettext will be UTF-8 encoded, however. So while it is not possible to directly create games in non-English languages, games could be translated into any other language with ease. Attached is a little snapshot of some simple unicode text I just typed in (using guitest) :-) Kai
