Thanks LN,I even learned that I'm using Unicode, I must be, and did not know it, for I replied to Imre who has joined us, and my Kveðja turned out to look like Kve?ja because I had a pop up window from O/E which offered me a choice Send in Unicode, send as is, and cancel, the last being unthinkable, I must have clicked on send as is, knowing no better, but to see how it worked I sent myself a message and clicked on Send in Unicode, and my Kveðja came out properly and unaltered.Blessings as well,Patriciawho has extreme pop-up-phobia, pop-ups send me to jelly it is because I'm well enough with the studies but sadly I'm a computer idiot, who has evidently been using Unicode all along and did not know it.As for confusion, I think the day the
confusion ends that's when we should start getting suspicious.you said, yes I shall learn to agree with that I'm sure I find that a very good thought.----- Original Message -----From: llama_nomSent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 11:22 PMSubject: [norse_course] Re: Icelandic Fonts

Strange alphabets heaven. As for confusion, I think the day the
confusion ends that's when we should start getting suspicious.

same as I saw it when you repeat it because I'm thinking no,
Patricia did not type that, please no , cancel that question, I
think I'll just stay medium-confused, so long as O/E works for me
and I can read it and study with my PC, never mind my lap-top it has
too much attitude, I'll leave it there I think, any more input on
strange Alphabets will result in a blown fuse (mine), but the site,
excuse me I'm off to investigate it right now
