There is a great amount of difference between the Shift-JIS format that Japan uses and the ANSI format Western languages use.

This leads to a small problem with the ALT+0160 space in usernames. Instead of a space users will see a | character.
I have modified the server to allow ALT+0160 spaces as normal, HOWEVER, I an NOT a programmer. I have no idea if it will cause any problems with the server.
A few quick tests produced no problems but that doesn't necessarily mean there will not be any problems.
I doubt the modification will cause any problems because it's a very minor change.
However, I advise you to keep both copies of the server just in case there turns out to be an error in the modified server.


Ouka is well aware of the ALT+0160 issue so please don't bug him about it ;) We have spent the last hour or so talking about it.
(This also explains why the heck I'm so much later posting this than I said I would... sorry about the delay folks!)
