Regional symbols #2

Hi,

Firs of all I want to thank You for this plugin. It works great but it isn't perfect I have problem with regional symbols like for example á,ü,č,ź maybe switching them to basic letters would be a good idea.

Sorry for being late to respond!

I have a local branch where I've broken out the actual interface to LCDSmartie into its own thing, where I've tried fixing this.

Part of the issue is that LCDSmartie mostly passes the text straight through to the display, and any display bought after (IIRC) 2006 has a different character set that can display Western European diacritics like Å, Ä, and Ö - but LCDSmartie doesn't let plugins know which character set is available, and also replaces 8 characters for compatibility with an old bug.

I'll let you know when I've gotten somewhere :)
