Do you use any UTF-8 editor?

I hear Notepad2 is supposed to be good, but I've never needed to use UniCode ur UTF-8 myself.  A good person to contact in this matter is Meep-Eep, here or at UQMF. He is a busy fellow, but he usually takes time out of his schedule to help fans trying to modify UQM.

The content packages are normal zip-files, renamed to .uqm to prevent people from unpacking them when installing them (UQM can handle them while zipped).
The file doc/devel/script in the source code describes the format of the script files.
Everything is in UTF-8 character encoding. Notepad++ should work nicely to edit them on Windows.
The Ultronomicon page which Lukipela linked to is also a good resource.

UQM has resources option in the setup menu not implemented in 0.6.2.
If I put the .UQM file in the addons directory, and having directory structure preserved inside UQM file, should it override content?
If I run the addon should I add "--addon MyTextFile.uqm" to the shortcut?

I just tried a file containing a spanish addon, and I did not get to make it work this way.
