Problems with Unicode

Forgive me if this is obvious. I'm new to the forum.

When I run BfW in languages other than English, I see UTF-8 strings being encoded as 8-bit, which of course is far from ideal. I'm using Windows XP, but do ported U**ix games somehow bypass the Windoze API? The same problem happens in Freeciv.

This is a minor issue that would only become irritating if in-game strings such as character names included diacritics - so far they don't, AFAICS.

Could you please post a screenshot from game? (Not the whole screen, only the important part.)

Some elven (elvish?) unit names use diacritics:

Of course, these are not campaign heroes, but they are also important to win, and they are too many to be ignored!

Hmm, now I can't effect the original display bug, all I do see are just boxes, which means that there is a font problem. Specifically, the font does not have any Polish diacritics except ÃƒÂ³ and ł (which are in Adobe standards). However, the fonts supplied with the game claim to possess a full Unicode Latin A range.

After switching to the latest version, does the bug appear in all non-englich languages or only in polish?

If only in polish then please contact me personally (I've been changing the pl.po file lately - 0.8.7 )
