Hi Elias,

this was a problem with one of the underlying libraries (SDL) that Tux
Paint uses, and a bug in Tux Paint.

Both problems are fixed now, and we are (more or less) waiting for the
next release of SDL before making a new release of Tux Paint.

There is a (quite old by now) test version here:
http://johnnypops.demon.co.uk/files/tuxpaint-0.9.15/tuxpaint-cvs-unicode-test.zip

which contains a new 'tuxpaint.exe' and 'SDL.dll'. If you replace the
existing files with these new ones, it should work.

Let us know how you get on,

regards,
John Popplewell
