I say epic indeed (after reading the code), especially the name LOVE_LEGENDARY_UTF8_ARGV_HACK.

I tried installing that build to a directory named 愛, and Mr. Epic Name's Jackin a Box ran fine from that dir.
I also tried unzipping it to a subdir called ボクスにジャック (literally Jack in a box, not the toy jack-in-a-box, ビックリ箱), and it ran perfectly fine from there too.
Any other tests you need for this? And, yes, I'm on XP.

Thanks, Sardtok, I think that will do for now!
Re: The love can't run on when fold name has UNICODE words
As far as I know, ö is in Unicode too. Unicode includes pretty much every character. So, unless Windows does something extremely screwed up with it (which wouldn't be that unusual) it should work...Sardtok wrote:Try renaming the LÖVE folder: "愛" and see if it works.
Thing is ö is an ISO-8859-1 character, although ISO-8859-1 shouldn't be used for folder names on systems using Unicode. *shrug*

Re: The love can't run on when fold name has UNICODE words
Yes, but the thing is: what encoding you use. ISO-8859-1 implements a subset of Unicode (actually it predates Unicode). Using UTF-8 or Big or Little Endian encoded Unicode enables you to include every character. IIRC Windows NT uses Little Endian for its file paths. So it should work. But I believe the problem lies with LÖVE rather than Windows, seeing other programs on Windows have no trouble at all handling Unicode paths.devyn wrote:As far as I know, ö is in Unicode too.

But wasn't this fixed for 0.6.0?
