        Subject: [WiX-users] WiX support for special characters?
        
        

        Hello all,

        I'm using WiX version 2.0.3929.0 for my project's installer.
Does anyone know if WiX has support for special/extended characters?
Specifically, I am trying to display a Text control that contains "(r)"
(that may be hard to see, it's the registered trademark symbol) and "-"
(ndash).

         

        After compiling and linking, those characters are replaced with
"?" characters. If I directly inject the correct characters into the
MSI, they display fine. I'm using Tahoma8 font.

         

        I even tried using Dark.exe to decompile the "correct" MSI and
the chars are correctly represented in the .wxs file, but then, again, a
compile and link loses them again.

        Thanks,

        Tom Busmire
