Some accent-marked letters are appearing as question marks in character traits.

Well, if it's a known (and harmless) issue with the Alex.exe engine mod, that's fine... Shame he hasn't fixed it in the engine mod, as I am not, as yet, interested in playing submods that actually substantially change the nature of EB, but I suppose, then, if I want to play Sweboz I'll just have to put up with it (or revert to RTW.exe).

The bug is caused by saving the file in the wrong character encoding. Instead of using UTF-16LE (Unicode/UTF-16) someone has been using Windows' version of ANSI. That doesn't work.

The only way to fix it is start with a clean version of the EB 1.1 file then manually add in whatever additional descriptions/fixes are required to make it work with ALX.

I have written small program for trimming the offending header from the start of the file. If someone would like me to post the code (in C++) then ask.
