    I can't believe this hasn't, that I can find by searching briefly on the forum, been mentioned before, but at least a few German trains aren't able to display destinations (or words, in general, for those non-destination PIS/FIS messages that may contain certain words) with Umlaut-ed letters or the Eszett.

    With the amount of location names using these letters in Germany, I don't need to be telling you how big of an issue this is...or I guess I shouldn't need to...

    The word and everything after it get truncated right before the non working symbol and as such you end up with the RB51 service to W. Kind of pathetic.

    This even with content as recent as TSW5's Frankfurt-Fulda (newest DLC I have currently) and its 114 here, but I would imagine there's probably similar issues in some newer content too. Definitely on some older stock, I'll see if I'll return to this thread to mention more as I find them.
