Dear list,
a problem I have encountered is my native language symbols like: ą,č,ę,ė,į,š,ų,ū. I use Alt+Shift keys to change layout. While typing I get symbols like font webding. As I started to enter text from the textfile (instead of typing to message flag) it seems to be all right to set canvas label but not for text2d on GEM window, where I get squares instead of those symbols. I tried font like Times New Roman witch works fine for Open Office, but maybe there are other issues that cause this.
Thanks for any issue related information.

#1 don't use [text2d] if you don't know why (that's a "just in case disclaimer")
#2 [text3d] and friends will take the unicode points (!) with the "string" message. e.g. "string 371" should display "ų" (if i read the letter correctly as "latin small capital letter u with ogonek" which is unicode 371) (and if your font has this character)
using the "string" message you can at least address the first 65535 or so letters defined by unicode (probably enough for most of us). in externals/iem/unicode you will also find a UTF8-to-unicode(points) converter, if you want to read e.g. UTF-8 encoded text-files.
