Franz, I think the problem here is that the particular character/ diacritic that we want (n + trema) does not seem to occur as a 'precomposed' character (unlike n + tilde) - and although it can be represented in unicode as a combination of the character followed by the code for the trema, the text rendering engine in Revolution seems to be unable to deal with such combinations.

Mark is obviously right that we can create the right code for what we want and write it to a file that some other (more unicode-friendly) application can display correctly, but it seems that we can't display it simply in Revolution.

One solution might be to take a snapshot of it in another app, (in the right font and size, of course) and then use the resulting image data in Revolution. A kludge, for sure, but should work.

Best,

Mark

Hello

The ability to display combined unicode characters depends on the
text engine used by the software. Revolution's text engine is much
oder than the invention of combining diaresis. There is a slight
possibility that I am wrong, but I don't think that Revolution is
able to display combining diaresis in text fields.

Mark you are wrong I think.
copy this to a runrev field: np
nnñ

For finding the chars and their unicode number please run on win the progs charmap.exe in extended view. Search the letter n with ~ or with trema as you like and try the different fonts you have. U+00F1 (latin n with tilde or some of the others) can be used in Arial,Verdana,Times NR etc. on win,
I do not know the way to do the same on mac.

Regards, Franz
