This has worked for me in the past as well. Basically, the rule is that if you can actually *see* the character in your xml file, and you've set things up correctly, Flash will render the character. However, I have a project coming up where we'll need to render special characters from the actual Unicode sequences. (So the files will not have human-readable characters, just Unicode for special chars). Has anyone had any luck making that work? Jim Kremens
