LÖVE

Hi
The *.love,or game.exe(create by love) are also can't run when the fold contain the UNICODE words,such Chinese words,Japanese words.
stderr.txt

Game (D:\Program Files\复件 LOVE\Test1) does not exist.

the words which you can't recongise are chinese words.
as I know,the lua support the UNICODE words.
An extra question,is there some video control functions?
I think I can't find any function about the love.video.

Plz forgive my poor English,I hope you can understand what I say.

Yeah. It's a known bug from what I've heard. Hopefully it'll be fixed by the 0.6 release, although I don't know for sure if it will.

It's a problem in the virtual filesystem (PhysFS) -- that bug was fixed in version 2.0 of it, I believe. I'm not sure whether LÖVE 0.6.0 will include. Any developer around who has the answer?

I can attest to Unicode paths working properly under LÖVE 0.6.0 on Mac OS X.

(Then again, they also work properly under LÖVE 0.5.0 on Mac OS X, so I don't know...)

They work fine in Linux as well.

I think the actual builds will all use PhysFS 2.0, at least the windows build will, and it appears the others didn't even have the 'bug'.

I've actually discovered that it's not (only) because of PhysicsFS. It's a Visual Studio project setting. I'm not sure how much work is required to fix it. I don't think just switching on Unicode in the project file will do the trick.

But yeah, it must clearly be fixed ASAP.

I can use unicode paths in LÖVE on OS X, (As all my .love files are in a folder entitled "LÖVE" and work with no problems.) but if I use a "game name" with a unicode character in it it refuses to run.

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*

The problem was SDL not properly supporting Unicode in Windows (I was in denial about this for a while). An epic workaround is included in 748b5b952576, which seems to work. Some testing would be appreciated, especially on Win XP.
