Thank you very much, yes, i can do all you asked me to. And yes, my Scid displays all your german umlauts properly, and i can write german umlauts in Scid myself, too.

Now i have attached one pgn for you, written and sent to me by a friend from Slovakia. I opened this pgn in a scidbase, modified it (that is, i stripped all variations and comments but the first), saved it and reexported it as a pgn again - see the attachment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, please exlpain exactly your problem.

- Open a scid-Database (not a pgn!)
- Load a game
- Open the comment editor
- Type a commentar like ý ... and save this.

Is this possible?


Post one pgn, with slovak commentar.

Try to read my Test.pgn, can you read my ö, ý ...

mfg Franz
