You talk about accents and special characters. First of all, you
should make sure you use UTF only for encoding, as ISO encoding is
rather old and obsolete.

Then, our Lyrics applet only displays what it gathers from the
internet, so it also depends on the encoding of the data source, which
currently is LyricWiki: http://lyrics.wikia.com/

You might want to test one of the many available scripts you can
download directly from the ScriptManager: Menu Tools -> Script Manager
-> Button "Get More Scripts" at the bottom right. These scripts use
different sources for lyrics that might be more suitable for you.

Thank you for your kind feedback :)
