There's a problem with 'extended' Latin (non-ASCII) letters in leader names; namely that most players can't type them, which is important when using for example the /take command! Especially grave are the cases where the first letter of a name is 'extended' as in Icelandic "Ásgeir Ásgeirsson" or Azeri "Əbülfəz Elçibəy". I don't know how to deal with this smoothly. Maybe the best way is to allow only ASCII in leader names. But that would upset users of languages that look odd without diacritics, for example my own native Swedish. Cities are less of a problem, since you only ever (AFAIK) interact with them through lists and the like. ~Daniel _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
