Accents in TNM

UnrightPosted on 08/15/05 at 04:56:54

This is really a minor request.

A while back I tried to give a wrestler a name that contained an accent mark. In this case it was a german wrestler using a diaeresis (the ü). TNM seemed okay with it, but it didn't really show up right in every screen.

Is it possible in incorperate this?

Usually a case of diaeresis can be fixed with Pepto-Bismol.  ;)

And yes the tilde (~) over the letter n would be great for Mexican names like Pena.

That's entirely dependent on the character set you configure your DOS shell with.

Unlike Windows, though, you won't find all the accents in one place. I.e., on a German character set, you'll find the umlauts and some French accents but neither the Spanish 'n' with '~' nor the Frenche cedille or the tiret.

There's no perfect solution here... it all depends on your settings. TNM should be robust there, though.

Warning: Windows-based plugins will not show DOS-based accents correctly - the character sets are different.
