I have done so already but with scant results. The problem is that Hungarian
uses accents and umlauts, which are also present in French and German.
Slovakian and Croatian for that matter use one set of diacriticals, which
again overlap with the ones used by Polish. Romanian uses â, which again is
not a problem. It is the modification to the three letters I mentioned that
I can not find.
