Using International Characters in our channel

Hello,

We have a bunch of video content that has been translated into over 50 languages. Consequently the title and description of these shows are in other languages using other alphabets. When we pull in our videos the titles that use other alphabets (russian, Hindi etc) apeera to simply ignore the unknown characters and only display any western alphabet characters.

Has anyone else encountered this and/or found a solution to this? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Note that Patrick states "for those components where you can provide your own font file", which is limited to the roImageCanvas and roScreen, so you'd need to do a completely custom screen for any that require special fonts.
