Hi!  
While I can compile [http://github.com/jgmy/daltonaid.git](http://github.com/jgmy/daltonaid.git) on apde, when I compile that with the Android mode of Processing for Windows all the international characters are turn into garbage (example: á is turned into áÃ).

How can I set a codepage / character set in order to specify the right characters to display?

Yours,

José Moya.

Still no answer?  
What I wonder more is that java compiling recognizes my files as unicode, while android compiling seems to interpret them as Windows iso-8859-1.

Do you think uninstalling android mode and installing android sdk _Before_ processing android mode would work?
