My very own bug report

edited July 2009 in Tales of Monkey Island
I recently contributed a book title in the private pre-order forum. It was "La historia fantástica de Pollo Diablo: Las plumas de la muerte!".

I very much enjoyed seeing this actually added to the game, as one of the last titles in the bookcase. However, there is an bug with this. The accented "á" shows as a square in the game, presumably because your font doesn't have this character.

Best solution but a bit of work: add this character to your font.
Good solution: change the word "fantástica" to the slightly less awesome looking word "fantastica".
Bad solution: remove this book title alltogether, and have one of your fans cry himself to sleep tonight.

    I found a bug also. If you use the bottle on the bottle breaker before it's in your inventory, and before you can pick it up. Guybrush just takes one out of his pocket, breaks the bottle, and puts it back in his pocket. You get whats inside, but no bottle breaker.

    Hrm the font should have á just fine. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll double check our accented character support going forward.

    Jake, can I suggest sticking a Submit Bug thread?

    We have like five threads with the bugs being pointed out, and they keep getting lost among the forum traffic:

    And there are a couple more in the Hint forum, IIRC.

    This happened to me as well, and made the other puzzle involving it very tricky.
