Unicode characters in text overlay

Hi all,

In my project, I'm creating a TextAreaOverlayElement which I use to display some text. Problem is that I want to use some german characters like ä, ë, and other special characters.

I heard that new Ogre version 1.4.0 supports unicode characters, but OgreDotNet is only compatible with Ogre 1.2.0 Release SDK.

Is there an easy way to display unicode characters by changing/adding some code? Do I have to wait till ODN 1.4.0?? :cry:

Thanks
