Post #103,114 by jbrabeck 5/22/03 12:28:04 PM Reply	I'd guess if you have the same typeface, then all the letters should map the same. Winduz Charmap will show the different characters. Had all the umlauts memorized when I was corresponding with friends/relatives in Germany. [link\|mailto:jbrabeck@attbi.com\|Joe]
Post #103,115 by cwbrenn 5/22/03 12:33:55 PM Reply	Well, at one point in time the way doze did all its extended character sets was drastically different than, um, just about every other OS out there, so while you could do umlauts and such on doze it would show up... oddly in other browser windows, email windows, etc. I guess the advent of Unicode changes this?

You're actually inputting keyboard scan code numbers in directly; while there are 102 keys on a keyboard, it's an eight bit device that can support up to 256 characters. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Warp has some common roots with Windows, as we all know. Does someone have a Linux box handy? My XServer on Windows does not understand alt + 3 digits. -- Less Is More.
