"Sort of". I think at some point we'll have to move on to full UTF. As
far as I can see, Scid does not have a principal problem with UTF, but
there were some issues I vaguely remember with the docs/menu
translations. For FIDE.spf I take the names as returned by FIDE, so they
contain UTF chars. A similar problem will come up with ratings file. In
PM Franz told me that he'd prefer full UTF there as well.

I _think_ it should work, but I'm not sure about it. (Especially not on
Windows where UTF is a mess.) I do not experience any problems with
recent games I play against people with "funny chars", IF I set the
encoding to use UTF before starting up Scid.
Most likely Pascal can comment on internal issues here much better than
me, however.
(BTW: I could easily recode name spellings to ASCII, in case this is a
wish. I just was not sure that this is a wise idea, so I left the names
as they were.)
