characters non in the internation Ascii set (iso-8859-1)
problem seems to be when it parsing characters but ....
using another editor works fine
if you mean via Unicode AFAIk it is not still supported

thank you plouf !
So if I want to use loadfont("courier New ",xx) and display Greek Characters with drawtext (xxx)and the ASCII Character of the table, it's not possible ?
Is there not an API command to change layout and character set to have this possibility ?
Perhaps, I must create a font and adapt the Greek character set on a latin character set !
thank you again

you should use ascii charset what i ahve done is write
a constant in an external txt ,and add it i.e. includeFile "constant.txt" so i have a constant in greek

Christos, I don't think that he means the editor. Btw I think that I have found where the problem is, with the loss of Hellenic chars after the space have been pressed, but I can't compile the editor since "Can’t create the 'PureBasic.exe' file (already running ?)" popup (this problem usually happens with big files to be compiled). Please email me at jonixATmyrealbox.com because your old email bounce.
GIDO, try to change the editor's language to Hellenic (from the Catalogs drawer) to see if the last plouf’s quotation does confirm. If you have win95/98/ME it's almost impossible to have Greek without re-installation. In NT there is an option to switch with only a reboot (unfortunately I don't remember the exact way). For win95/98/ME the premise is to have a PANEUROPEAN edition of the software. Nevertheless, to be sure that you will have Greeks (in a small-scale usage), use "Symbol"s, or something like ricardo says.

hey SpaceManoeuvres long time to see you
you are comming a few hours late i have found the problem
and should be fixed in one of the next releases
(i have a correct Editor Running here
)
as for purebasic.exe running it has been discussed
in past (use search to see)) i will mail it to you
AS for GIDO as i said Unicode is not supported internal yet
so he must use an API fuction to convert some text
(i just don't know how
)
