I tested on my Nexus 7 and confirm that it is an issue.

I suspect it is because the Danish characters on the keyboard, while they 
appear in the same position on the displayed keyboard as an English character, 
are not using the same ascii code.

The 'æ' character will return (probably) 198 instead of 58 (for ':'). That 
falls into the extended set.

There is a command to set the font image for Edit Boxes, but not for setting 
the extended font image.

And it might be that the Edit Boxes don't know how to work with the extended 
set.

It is now in the hands of the AGK developers.

They first need to acknowledge it here and then decide how to deal with it.

It looks like they last went through the list in October 2012.

Since I am just a volunteer, and not an actual employee at TGC, I don't know 
when they will review this list next.

So, I don't know when or if they will have a fix for this.  And I cannot think 
of a workaround for it at the moment.

Good Luck,

Have you tried using the SetTextDefaultExtendedFontImage command?

If you can create/find a font image file for the Danish characters using the 
ASCII values 128 to 255, then this might work for the basic displays.

It might even fix the edit box as well, but I am not sure.

Android is probably sending UTF-8 characters, which is beyond the capabilities 
of our bitmap fonts. We will need to find a way to tap into the device fonts 
for full international support, not an easy fix.

i look in the web and found this useful.
String content = "..."
String s= new String (content.getBytes("UTF-8"),"ANSI");
.getBytes("ISO-8859-1")
Windows-1252
