Ugh! For those who haven't played Brigandine, the game lets you name the creatures in your army. In Grand Edition, the creatures that are in play when the game starts have quirky names. I dug into translating those starting names yesterday and found out they use a completely different text encoding from anything else in the game and they also have their own drawing routine. We're now up to 3 different encodings (ShiftJIS and 2 "proprietary") and 7 different text drawing routines. I can't image what compelled it's designers to use such a convoluted system!
