Implementing unicode has high priority, so I suppose some parts of the program allready have unicode support and the programmers are still working on the other parts.
This is what Sherry wrote in August last year. Evert RE: [LegacyUG] Polish language legacy Sherry/Support Sat, 09 Aug 2008 06:56:02 -0700 Bobby, Currently Legacy will only work with Western European fonts. Legacy was developed with Visual Basic 6.0 and our goal is to port it to the new VB.Net development tool which will allow us to have full Unicode support. At that time we would be interested in other languages if we can get enough people like 8 to 12 to form a small translation team. We have learned a lot from the current translations we have been working on and hope to make Legacy a great international program available in many languages. Thanks for using Legacy.
