Special Characters

(beta 0123) How do i get processing to show characters like ρ (Latin small letter eng U+0148 in Times New Roman) or "Д" or "ρ Х Њ" ?

I'm loading Times New Roman as my font and a csv file in UTF-8 that has all the right characters appearing in the notpad view. In processing it's showing a character, but the wrong one. for example it shows "ρ" instead of Ï.

when i try to display the character by writing
text('ρ');
nothing appears.
