Golden Sun: The Broken Seal Hack Help

I keep getting error messages like:

"Cannot compress string with current compression tables.  The tables need to be re-written, but that isn't currently supported."

What exactly is happening here?

[Salanewt]

The game probably can't accept certain letter combinations, so the editor prevents you from doing using them. For example, Marquis or Kingdom might give you problems.

Have a nice day.

Do you have a list of what names/combinations aren't usable?

[Atrius (He/Him)]

What's happening is that the string can't be compressed with the current compression tables, they need to be rewritten, but that isn't currently supported.  The compression tables are formatted in a way that it becomes impossible to compress a string at all if you put the wrong letters beside each other.

It's too bad we can't have the text field empty... even with just a space. I assume that's why we use '?' instead.
