G'day Freso,

Almost all the accented vowels for the major European languages are included in "the second AASCI set" ... the second half of standard font set, but the characters that aren't typed from the US set-up of the keyboard. Back on 18 Dec 04 - 02:19 PM Open Mike gave the keyboard codes for typing in most of the characters you mentioned on 12 Jan 03 - 03:14 PM.

I use these all the time - having run off "cheat sheets" of the ASCII characters #128 - #255 for standard fonts from a little old DOS applet called FontSee. If you PM me an e-mail address I'll send you a sample in PDF format that you can print off. It's far faster to have (and ... eventually remember) these codes than to be calling up "Foreign Characters" pick charts. (And if you think it's tiresome to type in a few extra characters ... you should try typesetting in Vietnamese (with an extra 126 accented vowels!).

Regards,

Bob
