Why doesn WordRider support all of TxtRiders characters?

WordRider is written Java which has no support for bitmap fonts (*.fon) so I had to use True Type Font. It’s almost impossible to create your own True Type Font (it’s really hard) so I selected TI92PlusPC (ti-92p.ttf) which is included in every installation of TI-Connect or TI-GraphLink software (distributed with every calculator). Unfortunately this font doesn’t fully support all TI-89 characters (usually characters with a code < 20). Therefore if you use an unsupported character (file is saved from another application) you will see empty rectangles instead of special characters.
