I still don't get how to use Unicode font in Torque. Do I have to recompile the engine for it to read UTF files or what?
Thx.

May be because I used Notepad to write out and it add BOM to the letter. Can you tell me more what kind of editor you use and what kind of font?thx again. :)

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net . In Notepad++ you can go to a menu "Format" then select "Encode in ANSI" and also check "UTF-8 without BOM". For the font I used, it's "Tahoma".
Hope this help. :)

But what about Chinese characters? I tried following your guidance and it only displays little boxes in place of the characters.

Just save the file as UTF-8 and it works fine.
