INSTRUCTIONS FOR TESTER: For all of these tests, you will want to try to discover bugs in the viewer by using characters in your language which are non-English characters, including accent marks, diacritical consonants, etc):

  1. Create a username on your Operating System (your MacOS or WinXP username) which contains non-English characters. Run Second Life after switching to this user on your Operating System.
  2. Create a folder on your hard drive which is named using non-English characters. You will use this folder many times in the Test, wherever the Test refers to \YOURFOLDER.
  3. Prepare a sample sentence (or just a collection of words) that use many different non-English characters. You will use this sentence many times whenever you are typing words into the SL viewer.
