Some players use non-standard characters in their nicnames.
Here are two examples:
this name: "ﮎωλx™ ت " (without quotes) is displayed like this in chat:
2013-02-10_00001
and this one: "ιηѕαηє" like this in voice notification:
2013-02-10_00002
This affect chat, console, player list, evertything.

Could this bug get higher priority? It's really a blocker since some player names are not displayed correctly, or even worse, at all.

I think this (in-game) console output is related to this issue:

I get these always when I e.g. look at server details where the players use non-standard characters.

You should probably use different font, which has glyphs for non-standard characters.
