I'm a bit confused.  It's perfectly possible to use accents and special characters using unicode format which can be done.  I suppose I'll include that in the next part of the tutorial.

As for the genList thing, it's just a few less lines of code (rather than using a for loop) but setting up the lists in the first place and then using them is one more aspect of OpenGL I have to expect the reader to understand. 

handCraftedRadio:  Yeah, that's not quite what I do myself.  Instead I scan *vertically* from the end of the tile until I find my first non-transparent pixel.  That tells me that the symbol inside the tile starts on that line and the remaining space to scan is the length.

There is a program to dump any TTF font selected charset to a spritesheet.
I can't remember the name but if someone does, it could be a great link addition to the tutorial

Sure, but not using the method in your tutorial.  That's all I was saying. 

I suppose I'll include that in the next part of the tutorial.

Interested to see how you tackle it.
