I use GetChar() on a name entry dialog and it works with Unicode characters (I think). For example I changed my keymap to Russian and was able to enter Syrillic characters into the name entry dialog (I also had a font which supported those characters). So in theory it should also work for Japanese but I've never tried it. Anyone else got more info?

Another question about Cyrillic :
If the Cyrillic one can see in the "Data "
do I create a file that contains the text?
And call FastText.dll when compiling ?

You may want to ask that question in the Blitz3D part of the forum :-)

I think you need to use the operating system for that, something like this:

The user should set their language preferences with the operating system.
