Font Question
 
How does one type with Umlauts? Do you need special font?

Compose in Word & use Insert>Symbol.... Then you can copy & paste the text anywhere.

Or you can open up the character map utility.

Under XP

Start ->All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map

Under Vista or Win 7

Start (globe), type "character map" in the 'Search programs and files' and launch it.

FYI, not all fonts contain accented characters. Something to consider when choosing a font that may need to be set in a foreign language.

How does Dave know that trick? Italian doesn't use Umlauts. ;)

Ah! I've been wondering how to do ñ.

Sid, anyone that has been around Windows for a LONG time will know that. The character map has all sorts of cool symbols. How else can you type this ? ©

It was more of a jab at Dave. But I didn't know that trick.
