Hi all,

I was asked to look at the remaining unicode text issues remaining on OS X. It seems there are some issues specific to this operating system, and some general:

a) Uppercases character umlaut (e.g. Ü) are not rendered correctly in the user interface, they do show in 3D text and the text editor. Appears to be a text rendering problem that would happen on all platforms? b) The text editor does not use the new event->utf8 at all yet, still only event->ascii. It seems the text editor may need major rewriting to support utf8, so this is not intended to work yet?

Two OS X issues:

c) Typing with dead keys (e.g. ¨ + o => ö) didn't work for me. I managed to get it working using NSTextInput, patch here if people want to test, I'm not very confident that this doesn't break something, so some testing would be great: http://www.pasteall.org/25983/diff d) Typing e.g. ` + o to get ò seems to break various shortcut keys (same issue exists in 2.59). For example pressing ctrl+q does nothing after this, changing window focus or typing other characters makes it work again.
