RE: 2.6.x and fonts with accents

[Fairchild]

Sterling -

What showed on my screen was an "n" with a "~" (tilde) over it.  It is OK in
the message I received back from the reflector, but somehow was changed in
transmission to you.

Annoyingly, the "\" escape character capability got lost somewhere before
v2.4.6.

The game now, as I understand it, is to insert the character you want.
Windows XP provides character maps.  For example, at Start -> Programs
->Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map.  I found the n~ and copied
it.  This assumes the editor you use will accommodate.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply but the character I see here is a "?".  Is that what
you wanted me to copy and insert?

Thanks,

Sterling
