Bug with diacriticals in folder names

[Alain Farmer]

Hey! I found an easy workaround to the problem of diacriticals in folder names.
I got the list of paths by recursively getting all of the folders, including the diacritical ones I had trouble with.
The folders function lists these folders, but "there is a folder" reported that diacritical ones did not exist.
In LiveCode 6.6.2 [script editor], LC reports that there is no such folder when the path contains diacritical(s).
But when I store the paths into a file, encoded as UTF8, then read the file, ALL of the folders with diacriticals EXIST!Thank you, Mark, for pointing out that it is a unicode issue.
Then I got lucky as I persevered.
How gratifying! :-))

Thanks for confirming that, Mark.

One more down.  Now I can focus on figuring out why font sizes seem 
inappropriately large on Linux for layouts that look pretty consistent 
on Mac and Win (are you seeing that?)....
