Info on the email course can be found at www.esperanto-usa.org

I have found several places online that you can download fonts that contain the needed 
characters.  There is a collection of Latin-3 fonts (iso8859-3) that can be used in 
XFree86.  In my previous email, I pointed out where a Unicode chart can be had with 
the correct characters in it.  The standard method for ASCII text is to use an "x" 
after the character with a "^" above it.  It's not perfect, but it is fairly universal 
and understandable.  This is the method used in the lessons.

I found a wealth of resources online and now know a lot more about Unicode than I ever 
did.  The unicode Esperanto characters have been standard for some time.  They were 
included in Windows95, for example.  http://www.unicode.org/charts
