utf-8/accent input support

Post by mark »

Maybe it is a bug in MyGUI and not OpenMW, but I am unable to write characters, that can be used as accent characters. My systemwide charset is utf-8 and for input I use us-intl with accent layout. If I want to type e.g. quotation marks, I need to type " and <blank>. This is needed to type international characters like 'ë' or 'ñ', but in the openmw console, I get a rectangle immediately after typing the first char " (I cannot type the blank, the input field would interpret it as another character) and an exception "bad UTF-8 continuation byte".
Normally, the windowmanager should take care of this, but I guess, that all the standard inputbehaviour is overwritten. Is this a bug in MyGUI or OpenMW?

MyGUI, I would guess. OpenMW is pulling the input string straight from a MyGUI widget, which means the actual inputting is done by MyGUI.
