An easy thing that one can do is replacing the "isprint(n)" by "n > 31" in g_rtext.c and then recompile pd. On linux this
produces extended ascii characters. Don' t know what it does on windows and OSX, maybe someone is
willing to try.Works for me on Mac OS X! Could this simple patch cause any
bugs? Why was isprint() there in the first place?So far no crashes, tho once I typed a character and it hung for a
few seconds, and then recovered and typed an empty box. HmmHere's a little snapshop of the test:

Comments work fine, you can type special characters into object
boxes, but you can't load objects or abstractions using special
characters. And [print] replaces them with a ?.I am going to include this in the next Pd-extended, we'll see then
what the problems are.
can hardly wait for it. comments in extended ascii are a big first
step.
