Add UTF-8 TrueType support #30

Open jawknee opened 10 years ago

Need to handle 8-bit (at least) better. I've recently added utf-8 comments to the data files and it appears that now the program doesn't crash as much (at least), but the html encoding and TrueType fonts leave much to be desired.

This should help with the html - two usable methods: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11205105/how-to-convert-utf8-string-into-html-string-in-python-2-5-for-correct-accent-dis

Using unicode might just fix the truetype - but… I kinda doubt it -seems to be font specific.

Basic issue is fixed - converting to an enhancement to track adding utf-8 TrueType fongs.
