Hi Leo,

I've had some problems with high-ascii characters from different languages
using V4MD, but most of them were due to the fact that the font mappings
of the custom font I was using where totally different on Mac and PC.
So rather than creating a runtime conversion routine, I had the font designers
change the positions of the characters within the font for Mac and PC so
that the characters actually displayed correctly, even though the ascii
value was wrong. It was kind of a hack, but it worked and it the easiest
and quickest solution. If you search the archive, you'll find my posts about
this issue. I don't know if this helps you in any way.

Martin.
