About writing text in "ClusterDef" of MAPINFO. What are the characters to write as for example:
à = ?
Ç = ?
Ô = ?
É = ?
Ì = ?

is there a character table?

i think you have the wrong idea of how the cluster definition works

It's like this friend:

I'm Brazilian and I want text for my doom stories during the game, in short, translated. for example:

 

"Durante a travessia da lava de fogo através da ponte. você estará perto do portão principal."

 

The words: "através" - "estará" - "portão". When typing these words into MAPINFO and then running the game, the words will come out weird like this: "atrav´s" - "estar~" - "port$o".

 

I don't want that... Is it possible to write in Portuguese and leave the game with the correct words without a problem???

I would suggest sticking with ASCII in the definition lumps like MAPINFO, and instead using LANGUAGE to store your Unicode text strings.

 

Use some advanced text editor to make sure the text is stored as Unicode UTF-8, and not a different encoding. (Sorry, SLADE's built-in text editor does not allow to specify character encoding. I don't actually know which one it uses.)

the doom font lacks these letters maybe a advanced source port has it but the text will be broken on most of them your best option is to write incorrectly on purpose to avoid the broken text
