 Example: If you life in England your (Windows) system has the codepage for Western European (1252) set. With this codepage it's not possible to play Russian or Japanese games because their characters are not encoded in this codepage. This problem applies to all older applications that are not Unicode aware. Unicode is an encoding that provides a mapping for all characters used in the world.
-The EasyRPG Player is of course unicode aware but you have to hint him, what encoding the game uses. This is done by editing the RPG_RT.ini in the game folder and adding the following entry:
