The included font (Droid Serif) actually has the special characters (diacritics), but the game isn't referencing or displaying them properly, and causing all sorts of problems.

Either way, this is basically the same as the one I reported:

It depends, oolon1, on the exact specifics of the problem.

@tripphippy, look at 0003246 - does it describe your issue?

I am noticing the same problem but my issue is mostly that the accented characters and especially the male/female character in adventure mode creation are displayed as blocks. They are related but not duplicated issues.
