Greek letters prevent saving and exporting

Dear



Karim, interesting that Greek letters prevent saving and exporting. For this project it’s not a problem, but it can be interesting to use Greek and Hebraic inspired by gematria.

Best, Dagfinn

Dear Dagfinn,

This is normal. OM doesn’t handle unicode glyphs. Use only latin encodings.
Unicode is not yet available in OM. I have been advised for the moment not to implement it because it will be source of problems concerning backward compatibility.

However, we are considering it thanx to Anders Vinjar.

How big is this problem? Some few ancient patches? Or libraries?

Dear Anders,

Yes as we have noticed some legacy library and code were done under old macos and have some issues with unicode. For the moment i prefer to release the 7.5 (due to the end of october if all goes as expected) as is without the unicode support.
We will see later how this will settle in.
