Hi,
Im running houdini on osx 10.8.2 and i have problems with creating certain characters.
Biggest problem is that i cant create “$” character, so ive ended up copy pasting it from outside of houdini. Not very convenient.
It seems that none of the “Alt+” characters dont work.
Im using finnish layout but changing to uk layout didnt solve it either.
Has anyone had similar problems?
thanks!

Houdini doesn't seem to like the option key modifier for some text fields. You may want to try some third-party software that can remap one key to another:
KeyRemap4MacBook (works on any keyboard, despite the name):
https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/ [pqrs.org]
Keyboard Maestro:

I thought another solution might be to edit your global keybindings to automatically insert the $ symbol when you type some other key. Although many applications honor the change, Houdini 13 generally does not.
Houdini also seems to ignore the substitutions defined in the system Language & Text preference pane.
