Description (last modified by )
Hello.
In Secret files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo, in Spanish, I found there is issues showing the special characters in the language (á, é, í, ó, ú, Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, ñ, Ñ... the ones I saw) and maybe there are similar issues with other special characters in other languages (like ç, Ç) what they show vertically misaligned compared with others characters in all dialogs and menus, being some more noticeable than others.
Attached is and example compared with how they show in DOSBox, with all different fonts that can be used in the game:
Depending the font, sometimes they are most changed or not ("ú" is not the most visually changed sometimes, but "á" looks big or "í" looks like almost a "¡" in other fonts, but all are misaligned).
Here is an example with a dialog with more than one character with one of the fonts:
Tested with ScummVM 2.9.1 and 3.0.0git19399-g8c49944839d (Sep 26 2025 04:37:16).

I pushed a potential fix for this on master, so it should be part of the daily developer builds 2026.1.1git starting from tomorrow.
Could you please test and report back if the issue is fixed and whether there are any unwanted side-effects?

Hello.
Tested with ScummVM 2026.1.1git23321-g5cff6a9fac3 (Mar 1 2026 05:46:18), It seems fixed to me, the letters now match the ones from the DOSBox emulated version.
Thanks!
