Same problem with catalan accented letters and too with not standards 
characters like the euro symbol.

I can write it in the story editor with the keyboard, and shows ok, but 
when I return to main screen the symbol becomes a square.

In the other hand, if I inserts the char with "Inser special" it becomes 
a square in the story editor but becomes the correct symbol in the main 
screen.

Some fonts don't have this problem. Seems a problem with true type 
fonts... (but not all)

Salut,
