 Hello guys,

 thanks for this amazing software, so we are able to play wonderful games
 of the past.

 Problem:
 - Even after changing the language of the game, some of the eastern
 European chars are not shown correctly.

 ScummVM version:
 - 2.8.1
 - not installed, ran using mounted DMG

 Game Language:
 - originally English
 - rewrote all the subtitle files and several more files by Czech version
 of those files

 Version of game:
 - GOG, installed through Porting Kit

 OS:
 - System Version: macOS 15.2 (24C101)
 - Kernel Version: Darwin 24.2.0

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. I have installed GOG's English version of The Longest Journey using
 Porting Kit. Ran the game and it worked.
 2. Copy pasted Czech subtitles into game folder.
 3. Changed the game language in ScummVM's **config** on two lines (in GUI,
 it was disabled):

 {{{
 [tlj-win]
 enable_assets_mod=true
 description=The Longest Journey (GOG.com/Windows/English)
 extra=GOG.com
 use_linear_filtering=true
 path=/Users/XXX/Applications/The Longest
 Journey.app/Contents/SharedSupport/prefix/drive_c/GOG Games/The Longest
 Journey
 engineid=stark
 enable_font_antialiasing=true
 fullscreen=true
 gameid=tlj
 language=cz <----
 antialiasing=4
 shader=default
 platform=windows
 aspect_ratio=true
 guioptions=sndNoMIDI gameOption1 gameOption2 gameOption3 lang_Czech <----
 }}}

 4. Ran the game and it works.
 5. But these characters are wrongly shown in menus and subtitles (see
 screenshots):
 - č - shown as é
 - ř - shown as crossed O
 - ě - shown as ď

 Can you please help?


 PS: I did not know the component so I chose the best I could...
 PS2: Why was the game language option disabled and I had to change it in
 the config?
