have a question:
Why do I need a graphic font LuaUI\Fonts\FreeMonoBold_12.png ?

It will waste resources.

We have resources to spare.

jk/kloot can be maybe more specific...

Everything is (should be) UTF-aware means UTF in console & commands are passed as those to glPrint. So there is no need to change any other file than glFont.cpp.
The only codes that aren't UTF-aware are the textureatlas generation (in a limited way it already is, so it uses UTF to render the glyphs to the atlas, it just limits the character space to Latin_I) & the final render code. Note, it is less a freetype problem (it doesn't need any modifications of the code there) it is a pure managment & render problem. So it needs a code to load new charspaces at runtime & adding them to the textureatlas, the rest is pure c++.

spring 97.0 contains these changes, so next engine release should be compatible to these changes :)
