- exactly what I've been looking for.It is similar to the
config.say_menu_text_filter

I can finally scrap that crap from my patch and make it work for more games where the only problem is the way characters are defined.
Next version update will probably be numbered as v3 to mark this "breakthrough". Not tomorrow, but soon...
It's a shame really, that I haven't paid attention to something as important as the General Index page of Ren'Py documentation until now. It is right there, at the end of the welcome page of
