Dvorak. There should be an accent mark on it called something like
Hachek; it looks like an inverted caret.
He is one of those I was thinking of (and you have the correct name
and look of the accent). I seem to have the impression of another
composer with (I think) an accented z.
I got burned by that accent a few months back when I was sent a
document created in Windows Word for me to merge into a book that had
an accented letter used. I was using a Macintosh Version of Word
(Office X) and was unaware that it was non-Unicode aware and thus the
character was converted into an underscore (not spotted until the
book was printed). I'm now using Office 2004 which is Unicode aware
and would have correctly rendered the character.
