Entonces, ¿cómo se ve esto?

It is how it is. Stas Degteff used to maintain the source of Golded and he has implemented some of my suggestions to improve UTF-8 support. Such as adding a second parameter in the level specification line in the translation tables. When I asked about full UTF-8 support he said it was just too much work. Now he is not really atcive any more and no one else has taken over. It would be nice if we could find someone willing and able to to do it, but I fear it is not realistic to hope for that...

20 years ago I might have had a go at it myself, but now I am tto old for such an adventure...

Cheers, Michiel
