Letter ñ don't show correctly in description of game

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, a few days ago I discovered this wonderful emulationstation version, the best version of windows in my opinion, it works great for me, so far I found this detail that does not happen in the normal version of emulationstation, the letter ñ is not displayed well (see pics)

SNES MINI THEME

EXAMPLE  RETROBAT 3.1  VS  EMULATION STATION BUILD 2.10.0RP WIP 5/3/2020



I try
- Change ñ for Ñ
- Create a new gamelist.xml

tanks for the great job

cheers

After debugging : It's related to the font used in the theme.
It does not include the uppercase Ñ char.
So the processing falls back to another font which is bigger.

Also : Original retropie version doesn't "upper" unicode characters which is a bug in retropie (it's visible in your screenshot the ñ stays in lowercasing ).

Contact the theme designer & ask him to add this char in the font. Or use another theme...

Hi, thx for help
i fix the problem, in "base.xml" does the following

<text name="md_description">
<forceUppercase>1</forceUppercase> (you need change to 0)
<fontPath>./art/TinyUnicode.ttf</fontPath>
<fontSize>0.0444444444444444</fontSize>
<size>0.2447916666666667 0.437037037037037</size>
<alignment>left</alignment>
<lineSpacing>0.65</lineSpacing>
</text>

@maikolik and rest of the theme i had some add similar issues!  Great tip!
I had another somewhat related FAV will show up first and if you have any special characters that shows up first in alphabet order it will cause "not responding" slow crawl...
I since removed these special characters in gamelist.xml - problem solved.
