Those look like pretty nice programs, but they mostly duplicate things that are already in Windows and Word.

There are quite a few composite characters built into Word. You have to learn - and remember - the shortcuts, but the AllChars seems to have the same problem. It might be nice to have a few pre-built macros, but you can make your own.

Extended Character Map looks almost identical to Character Map that's built into Win/Office. You do have a little problem with seeing characters in Win CharMap, but if you click on one it enlarges. Does the one you suggested make them prettier?

For those who might not have found it, usually Start-Programs-Accessories-SystemTools-CharacterMap will get it open. I keep a shortcut on the desktop.
