Request: Asian "writing"/characters/unicode support

Yeah, I wanna play Caipirinha but it keeps crashing EVERY TIME

I realised I knew nothing about Quest3D so went looking for it.
Found the "Introducing Quest3D" PDF on http://quest3d.com/index.php?id=14

Worryingly it says in that
Unicode support for strings and text rendering, fi lenames must be non-unicode.

Which means that any Unicode paths might present a problem.
On the other hand it says the strings themselves are supported, which is good news for ID3 etc tags and indicates that this is definitely implementable.

Dylan implements all his own fixes for things, which is why it's taking a long time. A lot of the stuff in Audiosurf most thought wasn't possible, but Dylan writes a lot of his own channels to do what he wants.

And the filename bit?

QuestViewer can open stuff with the sideways : over a letter in a filename. I've done this to get to some Motley Crue songs I got off eMusic.

Just to clarify this real quick, my testing indicates that Quest3D actually supports the ISO8859-1 character set.  This is why circumflexes, umlauts, ligatures and other common Indo-European characters are supported.  CJK characters are modernly provided for by the Unicode standards.  Unicode was crafted to be compatible with both ASCII and ISO8859-1, so anything using those encodings is at least partially Unicode by default. 

The current issue comes down to a naive assumption in Act-3D's code that a single character will always be one byte.  That Lua is very low-level with its Unicode support only exacerbates the problem.

Since it is Lua, I wonder if you could use bindings to hook in other code to handle this better....
