Re: From Jed re Old Norse characters

Gerald,

If you click on your Start button -- go to Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and then click on Character Map, it will give you a window where you can display any font on your system. Click on the character you want, and in the lower right hand corner it will tell you what the code is to type. I use these all the time! No need for a special keyboard or anything.

Thanks for the advice. I typed in Alt 0254 as you suggested and sure enough, it came up with 'þ'. So far, by trial and error, I have got these others and have developed a stiff neck in the process! You say that these characters are to be found in the extended Windows font. I haven't got this, or if I have, I don't know where to find it. Remember, you are dealing with someone whose technical skills are at the palaeolithic stage.Could I beg further advice from you?

Cheers,

Jed
