I thought I recalled a bug in the LC engine where using the keyboard
method of typing the character code, press ALT, and then press X. For
example, to type a dollar symbol ($), type 0024, press ALT, and then
press X, didn't work in Livecode. However, I just tried searching the
Livecode Quality Center for a bug number and couldn't find it so perhaps
I am mis-remembering.

Hi list,
I have been asked by a client to make some upgrades to a standalone
app that I built with LC 6.5 about 12 years ago.
The app is a front end for managing a remote DB on a server. The DB
content is roughly 90% in french, and the rest in english and german.
It has about 160000 entries and counting.
I am about to buy a LC standard plan for both Mac and Win, since the
app is been used on both platforms, and will also be in the future.
But before I proceed, I'd like to make sure that it will help solving
a minor problem that users have met lately.
Last year a re-compiled the app, without changing anything, with a LC
8.2 Community version.
It keeps running fine on both Win & Mac, except that on Windows, some
special characters in french (like Ê or Æ or Œ) have become impossible
to type with regular keys combinations (or any other mean), when it
was possible before with the LC 6.5 version.
Furthermore, a few new users will be added to the crew, who will work
with qwerty keyboards, when the rest of the staff will continue to
work with azerty keyboards.
So finally my question : it seems that the standard plan is the best
option because it will give me access to the latest LC versions, but
what about these special characters issue ? Is it only related to LC
8.2, or will it also occur with the latest versions ?
Thanks in advance.
