Summary0004501: vtkTextActor does not allow any encoding, only supports plain ASCII.
DescriptionCurrently, vtkFreeTypeUtilities is used to render text from a vtkTextActor. The string is parsed character by character using a char*. It only supports plain ASCII as it does not allow to use multiple bytes encoding. Therefore, it is not possible to display some french or other europeen characters such as accents.

Until this is properly fixed I have added the warning "Only 7-bit ASCII is allowed (anything else, such as Latin1 or UTF8, is not acceptable)." to the header docs in vtkTextActor.h.

The documentation is also in error by "This class ... acts as a convenient wrapper for a vtkTextMapper/vtkActor2D pair"
It is completely different from vtkTextMapper.
