Hmmm.. I just tried entering some accented characters in the demo, and
it worked fine in both dTextBox and dEditBox. Can you tell me your version
information? You can get it by running the app, selecting the Help/About menu
item, and then clicking the Copy button. You can then paste the info into your
reply.

It might already be fixed - we have a few non-USA people who have been
a great help in moving our unicode support forward.
