I have OO.o 1.9 on my Linux laptop and 2.0 on my Windows 2000

the d-yogh ligature (assuming I'm in a font that contains that character).
But when I am on the Windows desktop it does not work, even though I am
using the same font. The only way I can find to insert special characters on
the Windows machine is by Insert > Special Character.

Does anyone know what the Windows version of Ctrl-Shift+hex_code on
Linux is in the Windows version of OO.o 2.0?
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.
This is interesting. I'm using Mandrake Linux 10.0, and the only way I
can get special characters in is by the Insert Special Character process.
the Ctrl-Shift-hexcode just gives me nothing. Or have I missed
something. Or is this a capability unavailable in my version of Linux?
