In scripts, utf characters with hex > 007E will not be displayed correctly on winXP

[Khalid AlAjaji]

If a string in the comments (Auther, License,..) or a string to be displayed, through LabelMgr.labelScreen, contains a UTF character with hex code greater than 7E, it will not be displayed correctly. Examples are Arabic language characters and the degree sign ° and other characters like ¢ £ ¤ ¥ ¦ § ¨ © ®.
The scripts with strings containing these characters were tried under Stellarium versions 0.10.4 and test build r6268.

Thanks

I cannot reproduce that on my linux with latest SVN version.

In fact I have the problem on my winXP. I'll see tomorrow.

Thanks Fabien,
My system is vista 32 bit.
The problem will show even before running the script: In the configuration
window, script tab, if the author name is for example, Fabien Chéreau, it
will show as:
Auther: Fabien Chéreau

OK, this should be fixed in rev 6366
