If you are dealing with non-ASCII fonts in [CodeSmith] templates or their outputs then you probably noticed that non-ASCII chars are replaced with question marks. There is a cure though.

Place ResponseEncoding=“utf-8” attribute in <%@ CodeTemplate %> node of cst file (CodeSmith template) like this:

<%@ CodeTemplate Language="C#" TargetLanguage="C#" Debug="False" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" %>

That’s it. Both [CodeSmith] source file and output will happily contain all of your weird chars (why is there a need for non-ASCII anyway ;-))

Well, not exactly died. But got a serious injury.

I just got information from Eventus that this part is replaceable and doesn’t cost too much so it is worth getting a new part.
