Question: Used Codepage? Problem with translation

Which codepage does Forge use?
Unicode, UTF,... ???
I have noticed some problems with language specific characters. As expamle the german language uses ÜüÖöÄäß.
In forge they are ommitted. This looks like a problem either with the used codepage or with the font.

I have no knowledge of the other foreign translations, but there should be problems, too.
Has anyone noticed similar problems?

Hmmh, maybe it's the old ANSI-ASCII problem. I should be able to convert it with notepad++. Tomorrow i will give it a try.

twosat: It uses UTF-8 encoding.
Do you have that problem in Android build? Then I'm sure the problem is the font.
These special characters are generated in Android (chars += "ÁÉÍÓÚáéíóúÀÈÌÒÙàèìòùÑñÄËÏÖÜäëïöüẞß¿¡") but the theme font needs to support them.

Try to change to another theme like Darkred or Darkforge and tell us.

Yeah, desktop version looks fine. The android version misses these chars.
I tried the suggested themes and a few others. No success. Still missing the chars.

I tested the translation file. Notepad++ says it is already UTF-8.

I am working on the german part of the translation. So i'm interested it's working (and looking) fine. 8-[

Close Forge, delete Forge/cache/fonts folder and restart Forge.
I've tested with Darkforge font and it works ok. Next version of Darkred will use Darkforge font.

It's seems you are using a snapshot. I'm on V1.6.28.002.
So i will wait till the next version is released and then try as suggested.

Updating did the trick!
V1.6.28.002 can't do the special chars.
V1.6.29.001 shows them in all the tested themes!

Hail to the developers!!!
