Same here. I need Central European fonts to show there...

Is AC9 unicode? Karl mentioned it a while ago in some other thread, but I don't have ac9 so I can't verify.

In some dialog boxes i see greek characters in some not.

In the navigator library items open file dialog box and some more
i see scrambled output.

I wonder the localised versions do a recompilation? I doubt that.
The new configurable interface does not let you choose the font??

Does anyone know?

For CE fonts you type in 238. Sorry Marin, I dont know the soluton for Mac yet, but I will try to find out. And NO, ArchiCAD 9 is not unicode, as far I know.

I think these are the codes you can use:

! Available character sets on Windows and Macintosh platforms
! -----------------------------------------------------------
! 0 = Western European (ANSI_CHARSET)
! 128 = Japanese (SHIFTJIS_CHARSET)
! 129 = Korean (HANGEUL_CHARSET)
! 134 = Chinese [PRC, Singapore] (GB2312_CHARSET)
! 136 = Chinese [Taiwan, Hong Kong] (CHINESEBIG5_CHARSET)
! 177 = Hebrew (HEBREW_CHARSET)
! 178 = Arabic (ARABIC_CHARSET)
! 161 = Greek (GREEK_CHARSET)
! 162 = Turkish (TURKISH_CHARSET)
! 222 = Thai (THAI_CHARSET)
! 238 = Eastern European (EASTEUROPE_CHARSET)
! 204 = Russian (RUSSIAN_CHARSET)

For Cyrillic the code is: 204.

For Ac10 this is the place you put the code:

And this is for the shortcut commands. Change the value to "1".
