Hi,

I'm trying to reuse TrueType fonts in Platypus and find myself
diving deep into Unicode adventures. Can someone explain how to
convert what I suppose to be Latin-1 into UTF-8 (I thought that
would be the same, but maybe not for TrueType fonts...)?

I'm attaching a sample generator script that should print "To your
sant=E9!" with an accented e, but the e is just invisible...

Thanks,

Dinu
