Actually it is. You just needed to install the language pack and set your unicode=true in uo.cfg. There were instructions right on owo.com for how to do it.

I'm not opposed to working on this, my to-do list is getting a bit long right now but if i can find a quick way to support Unicode for players while maintaining the era text style I will.

The era text style we have on UOSA was only actually used on guild titles, player names, in game text macros, NPC text and item descriptions for those using the T2A client. UOSA uses the speech from the pre-T2A client, so in a way the text we have here is actually era inaccurate!

I'm not sure if that's correct, here's a late T2A or UO:R screenshot showing the font

I didn't look any further once i found this, but I never recalled seeing those other fonts in era.

There are quite a few Pre-Post T2A screenshots here: http://download.uosecondage.com/OsiScreenshots

here's another, more likely early to mid T2A era:

No, the fonts are definitely different. I recall this as a player of the non-T2A client in era. It wasn't until I upgraded to the T2A client that my font matched the "brighter hue". A smiley face with the T2A client font is very noticably different to the non-T2A client font.

All 3 of those fonts are the same. They also match the fonts on my 5.0.8.3 client. I enlarged them all in photoshop and compared.
