Re: international text

Hi Lonna.

Are you using a PC?

In that case there is a program that can show you all possible characters in
any font that you have installed. From the START-button choose Run
and write CHARMAP in the box.

Here you can choose a character and in the lower right corner you see
the key sequence that you need to press to get the character.
If it says ALT+0246 it means that you should hold the ALT-key
write 0 2 4 6 on the numeric keypad, then release the ALT-key.

A small list of character

o with dots - 0246 (small) or 0214 (caps) (Sweden, Finland, Germany)
a with dots - 0228 (small) or 0196 (caps) (Sweden, Finland, Germany)
a with ring -  0229 (small) or 0197 (caps) (Sweden, Norway)
ae              -  0230 (small) or 0198 (caps) (Norway, Denmark)
o with slash - 0248 (small) or 0216 (caps) (Norway, Denmark)
c with hook - 0231 (small) or 0199 (caps) (French)
n with tilde - 0241 (small) or 0209 (caps) (Spanish)


Other possiblities:
Have you a key with the double dots on?
In that case press that key first, then press the o key and you have the
character
you wanted. The same goes for tilde(~) or caret (^) key. And also accents.

Hope this helps.
