EMERGENCY: Screeenwriter, RTF and French characters

[rougetaureau]

Wow, i just found a major bug in Screenwriter 2000, and it seems to still be a problem in Screenwriter 6.

See, one of my oldest script (the first one actually) just got the attention of a producer, by way of an actor.

I was using Screenwriter 2000 then. Now the producer wants to prepare a work session, and he needs the script in one of two formats: Final Draft or RTF.

So i re-installed SW2K, saved the script in RTF.

Oups... the French characters are all wrong.

Brief look in the FAQ at the Write Bros site. "Known issue that we expect to correct in the future."

Well, we are in 2011, so i am not holding my breath.

But i do have a trial exe of SW6, so i decide to give it (another) try.

Same problem.

Is there any way around?

I mean, apart from saving in RTF from the PDF i have?
