Okay, some more short info: I tested with Earwigo because I remembered I had a cartridge that supportet Umlaute on my Andoid phone with WhereYouGo. Here is what I found in Earwigo: German Umlaute do not work in the cartridge description but they do work inside a message-text. Maybe the scandinavian characters will work there too!?! Earwigo-lua has line-breaks with <br> and Kit-lua does not have them...

Okay, I did some testing with my Cartridge... After saving as gwc and running the cartridge in the Emulator it shows no line-breaks but the german Umlaute (ä, ö, ü) are shown correctly. Running the same cartridge in WhereYouGo (Android) there are still no line-breaks but the Umlaute are shown not correctly. Opening an exportetd gwz of the same cartridge in Earwigo and just compiling it as gwc again, I get correct line-breaks in the Emulator but wrong Umlaute (all Umlaute as Question Marks). Running it in WhereYouGo the line-breaks are still ok and the Umlaute are still not ok. I took a look at both lua-files (Kit and Earwigo) and in the Kit-lua-file the line-breaks are missing. In Earwigo-lua-file the line-breaks are visible. But what i just could not understand is: I used the gwz from Kit to import in Earwigo - how can Earwigo "detect" the line-breaks if they are not present in the lua-file? Is there additional information in the gwz-file??? And... yes indeed, there is! The Kit-created gwz-file has the line-breaks and the Kit-created lua-file does not have them! Is that helpful in any way? Even if I can create the line-breaks now, I still cannot get any Umlaute in WhereYouGo...

Hello, this may be a very "noobish" question... but I just cannot figure out how to format text (messages or questions) in the Wherigo Kit. When I see my text in the Wherigo Kit Editor, all is well. When I open the cartridge (gwc) in the Emulator the Umlaute are correct but the line breaks are gone. And when I open the compiled cartridge in WhereYouGo (Android), all line breaks are gone and the Umlaute are messed up. Is there any way to get proper German Umlaute after compiling the cartridge? Or any way to have bold text? Or even change the font size? Many thanks in advance Jörn

Okay, now it works... is that good or bad?!?

Okay, as aid before: The german "Umlaute" are not the problem. The pictures I try to use are JPGs. I tried several different pictures and get the problem everytime when I try to compile the GWC. With picture I get the error. Without picture it compiles fine. Are there any special restrictions for the usable pictures? The pictures I use are small (400x720 - 19,7 KB, 168x168 - 11,3 KB, 204x204 - 8,25 KB). I will send you (Ranger Fox) some of the troublemakers via e-mail. Update: Just tested png and gif - sorry to say that these give the same error.

Hello Ranger Fox, thanks again for your help! I may have found the reason for the crash while compiling the gwc... I don't understand why but the crash seems to happen when I put a picture for the cartridge in "Edit Cartrige Listing". With picture I geht the crash while compiling the gwc - without picture it works like a charm! So an easy workaround is just to have no picture for the cartridge itself. Pictures for zones, messages and questions seem to work just fine. No problem with them. And german characters do also work fine. Best regards Jörn

Hello Ranger Fox, congratulation on your superb Editor. Make it much easier to design a nice Wherigo. But after trying to make my work into a gwc I get the following message: Error An internal error occurred when using the new cartridge compiler to compile the cartridge.
