  Hey GoToLoop, thanks for your answer. Strangely, the code works in Java but not in Python mode.

      JAVA = 1/2 != 1/2.;
      FONT_SIZE = 24;
      FONT_JAVA = "Roman";
  
      def setup():
        size(600, 200)
        smooth(3)
        noLoop()
  
        colorMode(RGB)
        fill(20)
  
        textMode(MODEL)
        textAlign(CENTER, CENTER)
  
        if JAVA:
            textFont(createFont(FONT_JAVA, FONT_SIZE, True))
        else:
            textSize(FONT_SIZE)
  
  
      def draw():
        background(255)
  
        text("διχθαδίας κῆρας φερέμεν θανάτοιο τέλος δέ.\n" +
          "Бу́ря мгло́ю не́бо кро́ет, Ви́хри сне́жные крутя́;\n" + 
          "Ako sa voláš", width>>1, height>>1)
  

  Any idea what could possibly prevent this to work in Python mode ?

  Apologies @GoToLoop, I still have a problem regarding unicode text. I'm not writing text directly inside the text function (as in the example) but call an item randomly in a list of strings (here named "symbols"):

  def setup():
      global x, y, edge, symbols
      background(240)
      size(706, 960)
      smooth(8)
  
      edge = 10
      x = 0
      y = edge
      symbols = ['■', '□', '▢', '▲', '△', '▼', '▽', '◆', '○', '●', 'Δ', 'ʊ']
  
  
  def draw():
      global x, y
  
      x +=  edge
      if x >= width - edge:
          x = edge
          y += edge / 1.35
      if y >= height - (edge*2) and x >= width - (edge*2):
          noLoop()
  
      rdm = int(random(len(sym)))
  
      fill(0)
      text(u'%.s' % symbols[rdm], x, y)
  

  The last line gives me the following error message:

  UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

  Then I though this would do the trick:

  text(u'%.s'.decode('utf-8') % sym[rdm], x, y)
  

  But unfortunately I still get the same error message. Do you have an idea how to solve this problem in Python ?
