Hello! I have a problem with my CraftOS Guide. ComputerCraft doesn't support Russian letters (they turn mostly in ? signs).
Is there a fix/mod/etc. for ComputerCraft to add Russian alphabet support?

P.S. I'm using russian Minecraft 1.4.7, so in vanilla minecraft (in chat, books, etc.) there's no problem with using russian language.

No. I'm told it's a limitation in Minecraft itself, not much to be done, unfortunately.

I think that it's not a Minecraft limitation. As I've said, I use Russian language in Minecraft and don't have any problems.

Things such as items and blocks are actually sourced from community created translation files so just because Minecraft shows you translations doesn't mean that it can work in mods like this; however in this case its definitely a fault of the limited ComputerCraft font engine, we don't know when it will be fixed (it seems to be low on dan200's priority list; annoyingly) and we — the community — cannot fix it and release a patch/mod ourselves as this breaks the ComputerCraft license.
