Edit: *Turns out you can get notepad 2 for windows to help with this issue (I used the zip to avoid losing my default notepad)*  you can also use Edit from the command prompt but C&P is kinda hard to do for words with special characters.

I know currently there is a program to make your own languages for Dwarf fortress using the existing raws, but my main question is:
Are there any programs that can read the raws for languages that keep in the special characters/Accented.   Apparently the raws use code page 437 ( read that in an old topic about the similar situation) though programs that supposedly can handle that still give you Mojibake characters for the letters like еутвя.

-glares at notepad++-
or failing that, anyone got a chart that can translate what each mojibake character represents?

Again I'm looking to read them outside DF.


I should mention I usually use tilesets that don't change the letters that much as I rarely use graphics.

Sounds like you have japanese language support enabled, as do I.

Make another account for windows that only has support for english, log on that account and open the file, and you wont see any mojibake.

Er, "mojibake" doesn't mean it's Japanese - it's merely the Japanese term for what happens when any text is rendered in any incorrect character set.

Well I get japanese characters for those particular letters and I get the yen symbol for \ in text editors, due to not wanting utau and other programs to have broken filenames.  I figured I'd give him my solution not knowing any other reason he'd get the wrong characters.

But I've also looked into using font forge to make a ttf that uses a code page like ISO-IEC 8859-1 or Windows-1252 to add more foreign language support to the language raws, since there is no need for box-drawing characters in names so far.  If only legends mode would actually use the true type fonts!
