I am sorry. I checked the differences between ISO-8859-2 and ISO-8859-16. Only few letters are new. Most of then are just moved arround. But also a lot of letters from ISO-8859-1 are now in (like (c) and others). I don't know what are the specific Czech and Slovak letters so I could not tell if ISO-8859-16 have or not support for it. In your case I would use ISO-8859-2 modiffied (with euro instead the currency sign). I try myself to use UTF-8 (because of the s comma below and t comma below) and it is not easy and most of the program doesn't support it. Maybe after a couple of years... I use in fact a mixture between ISO-8859-16 and a modiffied ISO-8859-2 (euro instead currency and s and t comma below instead s and t cedilla). Ionel
