Hi Pilou, that should work fine for all Unicode characters in the range of U+0000 to U+FFFF, which includes characters for all current languages in use around the globe, and also quite a lot of symbols are in there too - this is for the Unicode 1.0 standard.

However, in later versions of the Unicode standard they ran out of space in that range and have produced new characters for some specialized purposes like support for archaic languages, etc...

It is these new characters that will not work, due to a limitation in Windows which I described above. But they tend to be not used very often, since for example people don't write very often in Cuneiform these days...

Windows does support these extended characters in other parts like for drawing the text on the screen with the Windows drawing methods. Unfortunately it does not support it in the particular function that MoI needs to use which involves extracting the bezier path information of the characters.
