Yes. Don't worry, as a German speaker myself I'm aware of the need for=20
umlauts etc. :) It doesn't properly handle scripts like Arabic that have =

special needs, but everything that is covered by basic Latin-like=20
left-to-right typesetting should work, provided that the font you use=20
has the required glyphs.

By problem you mean that the meaning of the first argument to the=20
keydown function (key code) is different between Windows and other=20
platforms? I'm afraid I don't think this will ever be fixed in SDL 1.2.=20
We'll see about SDL 1.3 when it's ready, but that's probably a while=20
away. So, yeah, I'd be interested in your workaround.
