Thanks, Ernie. In my OP in the thread, I while I did not write that it was necessary to use the leading 0, the character designations I gave all had it. Even though when I hold down the alt key, and use the leading 0 to access a special character in my installation of WIN XP home SP3, I get the expected character in every other application, I never get the expected character in GIMP. (NB: I just discovered this behavior in GIMP 2.6.6; I don't know whether it is true in previous versions or not.) Ctrl+Shift+U+unicode This is how you do enter any Unicode character in a GTK+-based application.

Re: [Gimp-user] Some questions about installing GIMP Animation Package and GIMP Help on Windows workstations

As far as I can tell, there is no currently available GIMP Animation Package for GIMP 2.6; nor do I find appropriate GIMP Help files that I could install on the workstations. Of course, there is always on-line help. That's somewhat true. I myself use GAP 2.4 with GIMP 2.6, and it works okay for me. AFAIK the package I linked is what you'd install to get this setup on Windows systems.

Re: [Gimp-user] Before I file a bug report
I think the issue is closely related to what language locale your system is set to and what font you are using at that moment. I tried the [turn on the num lock key] [hold down the right-side Alt key] type the key code I'm interested in on the right side numeric keypad, with the zero first [release the Alt key] And this often gives me the special character I'm interested in, such as Alt+0163 for the British pound sterling symbol: £ I also tried to get this symbol on Windows XP Professional quickly: é But I used the wrong keycode of Alt+0133 which in Windows gives me three periods (...) and on Fedora 11 Beta, apparently a nonprinting character: So, I might get unexpected characters or no characters if there is no equivalent to the 'U. S. English' locale I'm using on Windows XP Professional. And I might not get the characters I want if the font I'm using doesn't have them. I think it would be extremely useful to research the Microsoft Knowledgebase to learn more details about how the locale currently in use affects insertion of special characters, and how to temporarily switch locales, or how to grab a character that belongs to a locale not being used. And no, I'm not at all an expert on language or locales. I'm simply suggesting that researching more in the topic will give helpful answers. There is also a unicode character reference somewhere out there on the web that I've used now and then. Bob On 04/27/2009 11:06 AM, DJ wrote:?
