 Hello.

 In ''Secret files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Rose Tattoo'', in
 Spanish, I found there is issues showing the special characters in the
 language (á, é, í, ó, ú, Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, ñ, Ñ... the ones I saw) and maybe
 there are similar issues with other special characters in other languages
 (like ç, Ç) what they show vertically misaligned compared with others
 characters in all dialogs and menus, being some more noticeable than
 others.

 Attached is and example compared with how they show in DOSBox, with all
 different fonts that can be used in the game:

 es_letterAlign.png)]]

 Depending the font, sometimes they are most changed or not ("ú" is not the
 most visually changed sometimes, but "á" looks big or "í" looks like
 almost a "¡" in other fonts, but all are misaligned).

 Here is an example with a dialog with more than one character with one of
 the fonts:

 es_letterAlign_dialog.png)]]

 Tested with ScummVM 2.9.1 and 3.0.0git19399-g8c49944839d (Sep 26 2025
 04:37:16).

 Also could be related with other issue: (To be posted)
