Hallo!
So, can someone explain how I can have the same character showing in the symbol box but not rendering out the same value into the [text3d] object (å from a text file, and å typed directly into the object). If this is a little confusing Id be happy to explain more. Im very confused.
You can make your text-processing e.g. in python (and open the text files there - so they can be UTF-8).
Then you use the pyext external, give out the symbol with your non ASCII characters and directly set the text in [text3d] ...
That's the way it worked for me, LG Georg
