check the following sourcecode positions:

browserbox.cpp line 54
gui.cpp line 120
gui.cpp line 132

there you will find how the font files are interpreted. All you have to do is add the missing characters to the font files using a graphic program and add these in the lines mentioned above at the correct locations.

Oh, and this is not a win32 specific issue. It would fit better into the general development forum.

use whatever you want as long as it can save 32bit png files (both programs should be able to).

oh, and instead of translating all hardcoded texts directly in the sourcecode and release your own package you should maybe consider adding support for GNU gettext instead. That might be a little bit more work but it would make it much easier to translate the program into other languages as well. Even by people who have no programming experience. It would also allow to release small language files instead of a huge localized version of the complete game.

Here is a gettext tutorial that is much more readable than the official documentation: http://oriya.sarovar.org/docs/gettext/memo.html
