I think this just proves that GPG isn’t as infallible as a lot of us thought they were…" Supreme Commander was advertised as: the most moddable. That doesnt mean: the most EASILY moddable. The devs gave us the best tool we need: practically the entire game is written in LUA script which we can change on a whim with any mod. The map editor is extremely powerful even if difficult to use and I don't actually recall any tools being promised by GPG. “It can be hard for the game developer/publisher to be on the same page, sometimes…I know that there have been a few hyped up expectations/promises that haven’t been met (big ones, such as DX10 graphics patch, the multi-click system, coordinated attacks that no one ever seem to use, and most importantly the modding/developer tools…).

It seems most applications don't have support for Unicode. The Context text editor says it does Unicode stuff but most of the flipped letters don't work in there either.

I suppose some fonts may not have all unicode symbols, and would render the unknown ones as squares. I would suspect at least all Microsoft fonts would have all the unicode symbols. Any chance you're using a non-MS operating system? I guess it could also be a browser or language setting. It’s all unicode.
