Hello Devin,
I'm afraid none of the methods can be used. I have lots of texts in
which I use "#" for the n with umlaut. These will be fed into fields
on the fly appearing with the correct letter instead of the "#". So
far I have used images for various text sizes which work reasonably
well. My problem arose when I wanted to select a line in the text,
then having to change the colour of the image as well. So I think
I'll stick to the images, just double the sets of images with
selection colours as well. Thanks for all the help from you and Mark.

You *can* do this in Rev. Here's how I did it in OS X (I'm using
rev 2.8 in OSX 10.4.8):
1. Create a field and set its textfont to a unicode font:
set the textFont of fld "unistuff" to "Verdana,unicode"
2. Enable the Unicode Hex Input method in the International system
prefs under the input tab. This will cause the Unicode Hex Input
method to appear in the input menu (the one with the little flags
on the right side of the menubar.)
3. Position the insert cursor in the field, choose Unicode Hex
Input from the input menu, then type :
n (then, holding alt/option key down) 0308
the n with umlaut should appear.
Sorry, don't know how to do this via direct input in Windows.
However, the following should work on either OS:
1. Create a UTF-8 encoded text file that includes the desired
character. I used BBedit, making sure I chose a font that supported
unicode (Tahoma or Lucida Grande should work) and that the document
encoding was set to UTF-8, then created the n-umlaut character just
as I described in #3 above.
2. Save the file to disk.
3. Read it in to your rev fld using the uniencode() function.
I've created a stack that shows how to do this.
go stack url "http://revolution.byu.edu/unicode/testUnicode.rev";
You may also want to download the utf-8 file from http://
revolution.byu.edu/unicode/textUni.ut8. This is the file that the
sample stack reads from.
