Some non-ascii characters can't be written from keyboard in GDI version. The complete list for Czech keyboard is:

ě š č ř ž (own buttons on keyboard) and ť ď ň ů (composed with ˇand letter)
+ all uppercase variants

The things that appear instead make it look like two bytes are received for each of these letters.

Long wovels (á é í ...) work fine.




Under SDL, the list is different:

š ž and everything composed by using ˇ or ´ before letter - both of these are on one key, which prints / when used regardless of shift.

There it seems one char per one char is received, so it it probably encoding issue.

It would be nice if the support broadened a bit :)

My projects... Tools for messing with Simutrans graphics. Graphic archive - templates and some other stuff for painters. Development logs for most recent information on what is going on. And of course pak128!

GDI should work since yesterday (please check!), SDL is a well known problem (also with 2Byte languages like Japnaese etc)

Superb work, as far as Czech is concerned. Slovak should use the same encoding and benefits too. I tried pasting random other characters from charmap just to see and all surprisingly of them worked, too. All umlaut letters can be used as well... Thanks a lot :)

SDL13 may bring an IDE to all machines (which will be good for all chinese etc.); but it is not finally released and documentation is lacking.
