You might try holding down the alt key while typing a /decimal/ code on the keypad (which I think should probably be in numlock state). I've just managed to produce ðÐ as alt-208 alt-209 for example (a couple of D's with lines partway through them.). The character appears when the alt key is released. On the other hand, alt-676 gives ñ (n-tilda) in Arial font - 676 dec being 2A4 hex. I don't know if this would be correct in your phonetic font. -- various incoming sites blocked because of spam; see http://www.scottsonline.org.uk for a list and openpgp crypto key (key fingerprint 2ACC 9F21 5103 F68C 7C32 9EA8 C949 81E1 31C9 1364) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
