Hey, McElroy!
Erm, yeah?
You're coming with me.
Oh god, this isn't the murder is it…?
Yeah, it's the murder.
Apparently I'm supposed to teach you to be a detective. I just hope for your sake that I'm a better teacher than I am a student. Let's go.

An error has occured. Please contact the game author for support, as this
is likely to be a scripting error and not a bug in AGS.
(ACI version 2.63.780)
Error: Cannot display message with extended characters in SCI font
(Accented characters, for example the special French and German e/a/u/i letters cannot be used by default. You need to import a TTF font to do so).
Why is it crashing with that dialog ?
Anyone help me with this ? it is really pissing me off . I can't use a ' wtf?
Should add I'm using the beta and it does not do it with v2.61 .

Import a TTF font from your computer's fonts directory (Normally C:\WINDOWS\FONTS) and use that font for the dialog
The funny things is I did try that and it still gave the error . thats ok I'll just start over with the game with a nonbeta ags . as that does not do it .
You might be accidentally displaying an empty string.
Or a reverse quote (such as those Word tends to use, but they aren't actually in the ASCII set).
On some keyboard settings, the computer may automatically change letters to non-ascii symbols as you type, e.g. if you press ' then e, the result may be a French accented e. Even if you don't want that. I with accent is hard to spot.
Yes, it looks like you have special apostrophes, instead of the normal straight apostrophe.
That is, instead of using it's, use it's.
Updated BFAQ: http://bfaq.terran-x.com/#graphics03
SCI fonts can only be used with a certain number of characters. You must be using the font with too many characters.
Why would it work with v.2.61 and not 2.63.522.0 ?
No clue. Was that the problem though?
If I used a ' anywhere in a speach it will crash and give that error . so I went back to the older ags and it works fine . and it is the same copy and paste from a txt file I have it wrote down on .
Odd..... :-\
What's that "dotted line" character before teh question mark of teh fourth line? It can be that character which caused the problem.
No I can leave that and it works . it is just any ' fonts and it crashes with that message .
This will crash it . Hi what's up ?
Using ' in text works for me. Since you're using an old beta, try upgrading to V2.7beta8 and see if it works.
Note: V2.63 is an early beta for the current V2.7 line under test, if you find a problem with a beta version, make sure it's the newest beta before posting about any problem, as it's proabbly fixed already.
Edit: Well, when I copied your text directly and display them, the game did crash with said error, HOWEVER it's just because the copied text contained extended apostrophes, changing them all to normal ' worked for me. It may be possible that in your Windows/System/Keyboard/Whatever settings that whenever you typed that it's automatically converted (annoying), try to check if that's the case.
Ok ,thanks .
Well that was it I guess , when I went and deleted them retyped them ' it work just fine ..
Told ya! ;) Heh, just kidding.
