Status: offline 		Hi all,

I'm having trouble typing German characters in the editor (ü, ö etc). I also tried exporting the OOB, editing it and then importing it, but that replaced all the umlauts with questionmarks. Is there a way to do it?

Status: offline 		I'll try that, thanks. I used the conventional mirosoft combo:

ALT+0223 = ß
ALT+0228 = ä
ALT+0246 = ö
ALT+0252 = ü
ALT+0196 = Ä
ALT+0214 = Ö
ALT+0220 = Ü

But they don't work, unless I'm missing something.

Edit: OK, I tried Alt+129 and it produced a questionmark again.
Alt+0129 produces a graphical glitch:

Some Windows Fonts don't display the Umlaute or special charactersw; Times New Roman however does.

I'm using 3.4.1.9 also. I suspect it has something to do with my windoes language settings.

edit: I just saw Oberst's post. If I understand it correctly, this is a known issue to be fixed in TOAW IV.

Changed to windows fonts and it worked in the editor, but not when I load my new scenario. Older scenarios use them normally. It seems we have to wait for TOAW IV for this issue to be fixed.
