[V4RB] accents mac->win

[Bill Mounce]

Ruslan,

This is the problem I have been having for literally years. The  
problem is that Windows fonts don't use ASCII position 127-256 as the  
Mac does, which is where your specific characters reside. The squares  
mean that there is no character in the Windows font and the box is by  
default. I have never been able to make Valentina 1.1 leave these  
"high ascii" positions alone, and now OSX also will try to change  
them to something else based on encoding.

Bill
