Well, at one point I decided to add non-ASCII support, but that turned out to be more complicated than expected (especially considering multi-platform support). So at this point such characters are simply not supported. Do you need them badly? They would take a major effort.

Hi Zoltan, thanks for your answer. I'm assuming you mean that support is basically limited to the (somewhat standardized) 7-bit ASCII then? I can probably textually work around this limitation. I mainly use English in MSC diagrams and it's not that often that I need to communicate in my native language after all.

Good, yes it was 7-bit ASCII. Windows used codepages (which dictate how to interpret the upper 128 bit - they are a mess) and now uses 16-bit characters, while Unix uses UTF-8. So I'd rather not go there.

Hello, I noticed that diacritics such as é and á stop the parsing/rendering of the MSC. An example is the following:
