I'm trying to write texts to Microstation and having trouble getting certain characters across, specifically ü and ç but there may be others. They are present in the source data and inside FME right up to the point where they enter the writer. I'm pretty sure it's an encoding issue, but can't seem to set UTF-8 on the Microstation writer. Any ideas on what I can do to get those characters into DGN?

Hi @Hans van der Maarel​,

I think you will need to use a TrueType font (1024+), since the standard RSC fonts are unlikely to contain the extended characters. The DGNStyler will help you set the appropriate format attributes.
