There are currently several fonts in use by the client:

As you can see there are already some special characters supported, but not the same set in all fonts. Feel free to add the ones you are missing and submit a more complete version of any of these fonts.
On the long term we plan to switch to TrueType fonts for at least part of the GUI, which should also allow for all these special characters.

Yes, the C++ code has to be adjusted, too, because the engine can't decide on its own what letter in the font bitmap looks most like a ç. But that modification would only take 5 minutes of a programmers time, so when you can't program yourself you can leave that task to us.
So when you do the work of completing the font bitmaps (i would suggest you to implement the whole ISO Latin 1 Charset to cover most languages) you can be quite sure that it will be used.

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.
You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
I added the true type support to the bug tracker.
