Thanks,
I edited the font a bit (not sure how the copyright owner feels about that, but if he can't bother creating a usable font in the first place, someone is bound to fix it): http://www.mediafire.com/?bxxa3rnc5fe14h2 (Antipasto_sweletters.ttf - just added aring (å) and Aring (Å) using adieresis (ä) and Adieresis (Ä) as a base, and removed one dot and centered the remaining one). Seems to work, except for one issue that I've run into a few times before, and I suppose this is why some (most? all?) skins use separate fonts for caps and non caps text:
As you can see in the first image (1), the small aring (å) is there, but since it's not at the start of the word, it's exactly that: the small one, even though the label has an [UPPERCASE] statement in it. In the second picture (2), there's a big aring (Å), and all is well here, since it's the first letter in the word. This bug has been bothering me for some time, but I think I have forgotten to ask about it (or didn't bother since I saw how other skins did it, Confluence being one of them). Could also be that I'm doing something wrong.
I got around the bug by editing my fonts and replacing all lowercase letters with the uppercase versions in the same font file, and saving it as uppercase.ttf or whatever, and using that instead of [UPPERCASE][/UPPERCASE] statements. In case anyone is curious as how to get around it.
