I am playing with a fictional Canadian League, and one of the teams is Beaupre (there's an accent on the final 'e' that I can't seem to replicate here) that on the scoreboard shows up as a block. The accent is not being translated.

If someone would be kind enough to teach me how to generate a screenshot, I will gladly post one for the bugzappers.

Incidentally, there will also soon be a workaround in the Customization Guide about this. There is a way to change the font used by the scoreboard. The problem is that the scoreboard font just doesn't have those accent characters, so it's not a "bug" per se.

You could try these steps, although I haven't confirmed them:

----
To change the scoreboard font:

The fonts directories are in the individual skin directories, so they change with the skin chosen.

Atomicclockradio is the font used on the scoreboard.

Changing a font is a matter of backing up the original, making a copy of the font you prefer, and renaming the copy to match the original font.

Go to the font folder in the individual skin directory, data/skins/ootp blue/fonts for example. In the fonts directory, rename atomicclockradio to atomicclockradio original as a backup. Then make a copy of the vera file and rename it to atomicclockradio.

The next time you play a game, the scoreboard will use a different font.
