Unicode support

We need Unicode support!
I was hoping AC9 will have it, but it does not... As a Mac user from Croatia it's extremely frustrating not to be able to try to share .plns with Windows ArchiCAD users! All the other major apps are Unicode compliant (MS Office, Adobe CS, all of Macromedia except Freehand, Apple Keynote etc.) and I don't think that it's such a big problem to solve. It's so strange this issue hadn't been addressed before as Graphisoft is from Hungary, not some Western country that doesn't care about that kind of problem.

I completely agree, Marin. For what it's worth, AFAIK, 9.0 is supposed to have Unicode support, but the final pre-release version does not display it. I reported the issue early on during testing, and am hopeful that R1/V1 has this fixed...and if not, that R2/V2 definitely will.

Thanks heavens... GS, I mean!

This solves almost ALL of my problems! It's not so easy using a Mac in all-Windows surrounding. In Croatia Macs are used mostly for audio, video and graphic design... Almost none are used for architecture or engineering!
