Thank you !

I will try it when my website is back online.
I F#'ed it up with my last attempt to install a script for trackmania.... Something went wrong with creating a Dbase.
As soon as my host has repaired it, i can test it.

I'm having some trouble with our server name, it works fine in remotecp itself, but all that shows on the pngstat output is the circle characters it shows when it can't show the actual character. Shouldn't pngstat have the same capability of showing characters as remotecp does? Do you know what might cause this?

Yes normally it should support the same charakter set. Do you use the same fonts as delivered with the package? Possibly this font missing some of the "more special" signs.
Could you do a screenshot of how the servername should look like and how it looks inside the png?

That symbol typically means that the used font doesn't include that specific character. Are you using one of the included fonts? If so, post the font section of your used style so we can pick out which one is the problem.

hey, here is what the output in pngstat looks like

here is a screen of remotecp

@noc, im just using its default stuff, all i changed was the settings to connect it to remotecp, nothing else.

Problem is that the included fonts don't contain any special script sets, like those featured in the game and in utf8. Changing to a default windows font such as Tahoma or Lucida Sans fixes most cases, and third party fonts such as Code2000 help fill in some of the blanks.

[fordry]

ya, the Code2000 one is the one that got all the chars for our name working, thanks again noc.

Just to point out for others, you put different fonts in the fonts folder then specify them in font1 and font3 in the style settings file is how to change the type of font.
