Hi I just wondered if you could make a new amip plugin which supports the danish letters "���" because any danish songs with those letters looks weird when "bl� �jne" look like this "ble xjne". So I would be very thankful I your next version did support those letter.

Unicode support is already planned for AMIP 3.0.

Mostly note the date =p. I know all too well how real life can come in the way of pet projects (it's the reason I took my website down a year ago, because all the tools and information was so outdated it wasn't worth the price of hosting), however unicode support has been such a "must-have" feature for so long, would you consider a donation pot (like setting up a project at Kickstarter) for unicode support. Let's say if enough people pay 500$ within 30 days you will add the support (I know you are talented enough and there are enough libraries out there that would make it a non-issue based on what you have done so far). Just something I'm hoping you will consider.

Thanks for the feedback, yes, it could be an option. I just don't have a lot of interest and time to implement it in any case, even if I'd get paid $3000. It's a hobby project after all and it is developed for fun, not for money.

Adding Unicode is a boring and time consuming task, it's not fun at all. On the other hand missing Unicode support stops me from adding new features and releasing updates.

I'm not saying that it will never appear, but right now the project is on hold and I don't want to give you promises that I can't carry out, like some other developers do.
