thanks for the consideration. i have solved the problem a long time ago, with the exemplary support and advice of the CFC developer. if I remember correctly the original .fla sources were using latin-1 instead of utf-8 encoding. so it was only a matter of making this little change in the .fla file and rewrapping it to swf. now it works perfectly well as you can see in www.t-store.gr
as for the euro sign problem, i think i changed something in the functions/flash_carousel.php file,
$patterns[0]=’/#8364/’; (plus the &, i removed it coz this thing autoparses it to the euro sign!) changed to ---> $patterns = ‘/€/’;
the details can be seen somewhere here: http://www.oscommercex.com/2009/04/oscomme...eased/#more-286
there's one small problem remaining with the max limit of the product text shown in CFC. the max size works perfectly well for the english fonts but not for the greek fonts, however this is something i will try to solve in the future
