Hello,
Just recently, i was playing around with the cfg's, and tried to put a 'λ' into my name (with notepad++ with autogen.cfg). When i started tremulous, i pulled down the console and typed 'name'. Where i put the 'λ', is now replaced with a '?'. How can i get it to work?
BTW, that character is Lambda
-
you don't because the trem character set only supports the base ASCII set iirc

Well officially we're suppose to tell you, that you cant.
But I'm going to let you in on a little secret, there is this guy named Amanieu
and he's known for Making people Tremulous clients that do unorthodox things ya see :P something cool.
You can find him on irc, under the server freenode and the channel #tremfusion. on any store corner adjacent to a mini-mart that distributes 2600. When you find him give him The code phrase "Tremfusion Isn't working for me" and then get down to business a huge emotion-icon he likes that.

they don't sell 2600 in china..

On a serious note, would non-TremFusion clients see the Lambda, or just whatever ASCII character code represents the Lambda?
EDIT: I am an idiot. That question was worded badly, sorry. I was trying to ask if it would be compatible with 1.1, which kevlarman just answered.
-
there is no ascii for lambda, supporting utf-8 would require such a large rewrite that 1.1 compatibility would be just about impossible.

Not really. It wouldn't be a large rewrite. But IMO unicode support is not necessary. I don't want to see unreadable garbage on the top of my screen.

Yes it would be a large rewrite. While you could easily work with UTF-8 strings internally, the way the renderer draws characters (keeping them all in a big texture and rendering a part out if this texture for each letter) doesn't work very well with the 10000s of characters that you need for a Unicode font.
What you could easily do is replace one of the unused characters with ascii codes below 32 with a few printable characters.....
