On a Mac you can choose all sorts of keyboard alphabets for foreign
languages: it's very easy to do - just click on the flag symbol that
should be showing at the right-hand end of the bar along the top of the
screen and choose open international from its options; then select
what you want. When you are finished with it, change back. I use that
facility a lot. On my Mac, to save hassle, I have made a little
Textedit file (=RTF, which opens almost instantly) into which I have
copied and pasted the foreign alphabetic symbols that I often need for
my academic work (Anglo-Saxon letters from the Icelandic font, a full
Greek alphabet, etc.) and then I can copy and paste them into anything,
including Word, without having to change the whole keyboard every time
I want an odd letter.
all the best

Simon,
All sorts of wierd permutations on latin letters are possible on a Mac
and
I assume on a MS machine -- just install a Welsh keyboard driver.
There
are a few slavic letters I can't do but German, Scandanavian,
Hungarian,
French, Spanish are easily accessible on a dead-key basis. The normal
British letters are as written on the keys but the alt key is magic.

retired in Scotland but still trying to learn Welsh.
My version ( from a P Cato personal recording from Ushaw College

says that there's a little o over the second a ( sorry my mac
don't
do Swedish..)

Can anyone tell me where the letters with dots over and suchlike

I have it handwritten, twice and differently, from various
sources,
and I don't trust either rendition.
Thanks
