There's also this, which I haven't tested: http://www.fileformat.info/tool/unicodeinput/index.htm and this, which I have used a fair amount: http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html BabelMap is useful because it does show the existence (or not) of particular glyphs in a font. FM's character palette lies to you, by substituting from a different font when it encounters glyphs lacking in the font you're using. And it doesn't bother telling you about the substitution. s. -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited 3781 Victoria Park Avenue, Unit 3 Toronto, ON, Canada M1W 3K5 +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 http://www.phoenix-geophysics.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
