[hts-users:00702] Re: hts_engine: Phoneme Symbols

[Maria João Barros <mjbarros@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I also had problems with "@" symbol, but only in the Windows 
compilation. In Suse Linux I can use it. The problem is exactly the 
same, hts_engine just stops there.
There are other symbols I had to avoid only for the windows version, but 
with those I could not even run the training, like "~" and Sampa symbols 
that are uppercase together with the same in lowercase (because windows 
is not not case sensitive).
Already in Linux I had stopped using the "6".

Regards,
 Maria Joao
