Custom font and special characters

Has anybody had any luck in using a custom font with special characters like å or ø ?

For the life of me I cannot get it to work.

I exported a font using BMFont.

The font.fnt file looks as follows:

info face="TheFontName" size=20 bold=1 italic=0 charset="" unicode=1 stretchH=125 smooth=0 aa=1 padding=0,0,0,1 spacing=1,1 outline=0

common lineHeight=25 base=22 scaleW=256 scaleH=150 pages=1 packed=0 alphaChnl=1 redChnl=0 greenChnl=0 blueChnl=0

page id=0 file="font_0.png"

chars count=3

char id=216  x=0     y=0     width=12    height=18    xoffset=0     yoffset=4     xadvance=13    page=0  chnl=15

char id=229  x=13    y=0     width=9     height=18    xoffset=0     yoffset=3     xadvance=10    page=0  chnl=15

char id=248  x=23    y=0     width=10    height=14    xoffset=0     yoffset=8     xadvance=10    page=0  chnl=15

The png looks as follows:

My string resource looks as follows:

<strings>

    <string id="myStr">øå</string>

</strings>

My font resource looks as follows:

<fonts>

	<font id="font" filename="font.fnt" filter="øå" />

</fonts>

And in code I set it as follows:

function onUpdate(dc) {

        var str = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Strings.myStr);

        var view = View.findDrawableById("TimeLabel");

        view.setText(str);



        View.onUpdate(dc);

}

But it does not display any of the special chars. If I export normal characters together with the special characters and add them to the filter in the font resource, and I change my string resource to something like "Lør", then only "Lr" gets displayed.

Any ideas?
