Unicode characters?

Hi,

how to use Unicode characters within NSIS?

I encoded the .nsi script into UTF8 (without BOM), but German umlauts are displayed as a bunch of ANSI characters now...

Any idea?

just to rule out common mistakes, do you use the unicode build of nsis?

Uhm... cough, cough... no... I thought NSIS would understand Unicode by default? -- The build on that page is not quite recent, thus...

FYI, I am working on porting 2.42.

And it's now done. So go get the latest.

nsis 2.42 unicode license text = chinese

i just installed the newest version of unicode nsis and the license page text is showing chinese or some other language when english was selected. in fact, i don't even have a text file yet with the information translated.

windows is set to use english (us).

The file has to have the right character encoding, of course.
