Font Question

[futuresoptions]

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.

Thanks Dave, that works great also!!!

Cüle!

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.
