Hi,
i have a little issue with tables. I have a csv table with cyrillic data in it. I am trying to make a word game with bulgarian words. But when i try to import the data some of the cells disappear and some of them misplace. When I import data with english words there is no problem. Is there a known bug or the problem is in my computer. I hope I was clear and sorry for my english.
Thank you!

Any ideas on this are welcome. Thank you in advance.
I don't know how many people have a language Cyrillic characters here on game salad but it might be a great opportunity.
@themoonwalls sorry if I am wrong but doesn't Polish use Cyrillic symbols?
Just curious. I have made polish manuals as a desktop publisher and we always called the font a Cyrillic font. Did we use the wrong term?

Not all font families had them an it was a hell to make these characters in the text. (I often used illustrations that I pasted into the text).
Thanks for the info. I know a little bit more about the polish language now.

try using the US keyboard with Edit > Special Characters
most of the Cyrillic keyboard chars are in available in the Latin or Greek collection
as constantly clicking through to those characters can get annoying …
Open System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources
… and √ (turn on) the box next to Keyboard & Character Viewer
(also √ the keyboards you may want to use)
this places a nice countryFlag icon in your menuBar
when you click it … you can select a language/mini Keyboard and/or the Character Viewer
then have that opened/minimized for when you need it
of course, most all those accented/esoteric letters have keyboard shortcuts
[option]+[U] … then the letter … for umlauts (diaeresis): ä
[option]+[E] … then the letter … for acute: é
any csvFile that I have with accented letters … imports well into GS
of course lua accepts accented letters (Roberto Ierusalimschy is Brazilian)
and, Apple OSes work well with accented letters
but, alas, I haven't tested a GS project on the devices …
little tip: on your iOS devices: holding down a keyboard letter will show all the various accents marks available with that letter … just drag your finger to the one you want … then release
@dj2616 … think you are doing something so special! …
English speaking people say "Learn English"
but what can one say when greeting someone they use a reference to Hell is low
or God bye for when parting!
give me: ciao or shalom or aloha!
