There are parts of your problem:<br>
<br>
1) Text Editor<br>
<br>
The problem you show in the screenshot has nothing to do with the BGE,<br>
since the Text Editor is pretty much an integral part of Blender.<br>
Blender 2.72 allows you to pick a custom font to use as International<br>
Font. Get a font that supports the characters you need and use that<br>
instead.<br>
<br>
2) BGE<br>
<br>
The BGUI is a third party script, so here is not the best place to<br>
pinpoint what is the issue in that case. That said, the same font you<br>
use for (1) should work here. Just find a way to use a custom font<br>
with BGUI (I'm sure it supports, I just don't know off the top of my<br>
head how to set that up).<br>
<br>
3) Last but not least<br>
<br>
You can also use the font you found for (1) and use that with a Text<br>
object. Text objects allows for true type fonts inside the BGE.<br>
(though BGUI is a more convenient way of using it for interface). It<br>
will help you to debug if the issue is BGUI or your font.<br>
<br>
