Patch for Non-ASCII Characters My OS (WIN7) uses non ASCII characters in the file system. Doesn't have to, but does.

I know in general it's not a great idea, but some of my directories have names which use these characters.

Blender shows it all non-readable gibberish, which makes it pretty difficult to understand what directory I'm looking at.

Is there some kind of UTF-8 patch, or update to help out here?
Blender does display unicode (utf8 and latin1), try change the system user-preferences to enable 'international fonts'.

This loads a font with a wider range of characters that may display your paths correctly.
