Half-width characters in NScripter

[tahu157]

I'm messing around with a short NScripter game and I'm having trouble with inserting half-width characters. They cause a lot of errors including causing NScripter's command characters (like @ and \) to be treated as game-text, or simply causing the game to crash with an "illegal command" error. I've read a bit about it and I guess each word + the following space needs to be an even amount of bits? That seems to help with the command characters issue but does not always solve the crashes issue.

The easy fix is to just use full-width characters but those don't look as nice and present their own problems with crashes due to frequent character overflow.

I'm hoping this is a noob issue with an established fix. Is there a reliable way to use half-width characters or should I just use full-width?

Done a bit more research and I guess my best bet is to just run it with ONScripter. I still have to use full-width characters but since I can choose the font I can they don't get as spaced out, and the overflow crash doesn't seem to happen.

NScripter? Haven't heard that name in a hot minute..
