Yeah, the character appears when the Alt key is released, but it is the wrong character. In Unicode, the slot for the syllabic non-spacing diacritic is 809 decimal or 0329 hex. Holding down Ctrl+Shift and typing the hex code works on the Linux computer with OO.o Writer 1.9, but holding down Alt while typing 809 does not work on the Windows computer with OO.o 2.0. Tried with and without numlock key on. Also tried 0809, tried Ctrl+Shift, tried other key combinations, all with both the decimal and the hex. I get either nothing or I get a close parenthesis. The font (Charis) is Unicode compliant. Just for kicks I tried Gentium, another IPA font that is Unicode compliant, and got the same results. But strangely, if I do Alt+0241 with numlock key on I get an ñ on the Windows machine. Of course, 0241 decimal is within the old non-Unicode area (0 - 255, right?). Maybe the Linux version is able to handle Unicode above 255, but the proggers for the Windows version failed to enable that so all it can do correctly is 0 - 255. Thanks for the suggestions so far, but still no joy on Windows. :( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
