Ah, I understand, we're talking about a System 3.5 game. My program is for older versions. For 3.5, you're going to want to work with a port of System 3.5 made by kichikuou, found here:

The program already includes some font support, although we can't know if that includes accented characters until we try. If you're a programmer, try to get that running, but if you're not, I can take a look at it for you. I warn you, I haven't had much luck with it in the past, but I'll do my best!
