Could the problem with the German specific characters be with the original fontarial14.xml file? Does the German version have extra code to allow for the special characters where as the english version may not? Which could stand to reason as there are only 95 lines for characters in the english version and that should equal all the diffrent characters on the english keyboard. The german keyboard is slightly diffrent to support their unique character set; therefore, the fontarial14.xml file may be diffrent in the german install.

Someone may want to consider uploading the original version from the german install to be compared with the english install version.

After looking at the alpha channels of all the font tga files. Each one has exactly 95 characters in it. By using the fix Cairbre posted, it should be using the original fontarial14.xml which is referencing the fontarial.tga file correctly. It still doesnt explain the search function not working, but hopefully is a step in the right direction.

After looking at a lot of the xml files in the default UI directiory, I noticed many named font_euro_<font name>.xml Since the market window references the various

FontZapf

fonts throughout, perhaps that is where the error is. For some reason it uses the english version and not the euro version. No clue how to fix that though. Hopefully, those of you who are the coding experts may have an idea.
