SUBJECT: RE: [REDLEX] WHICH FONT FOR  FRENCH

AND THAT'S WHY ONE SHOULD USE EITHER A UNICODE KEYBOARD LAYOUT OR A ROMAN KEYBOARD WITH PRE-COMPOSED ACCENTED CHARACTERS FOR A LANGUAGE! WHEN I USE MY FRENCH CANADIAN KEYBOARD FOR TYPING É, I SHOULD HAVE LESS PROBLEM THAN TYPING IT WITH ENGLISH QWERTY USING A COMBINING ACCENT.

BUT THIS SOLUTION IS PERHAPS TOO LATE FOR RAYMOND. MAYBE BY SELECTING THE RIGHT TEXT ENCODING IN MAIL (MESSAGE-TEXT ENCODING) HE CAN CORRECT IT.

THIS PRE-UNICODE TEXT ENCODING PROTOCOLS ARE ALWAYS A SOURCE OF HEADACHE FOR ME!

NONETHELESS, THE MACROMAN CODES FOR YOUR MISSING ê à ô (90 88 99) 
ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE MACCYRILLIC CODES FOR ? ? ?. TO ME 
THIS MEANS THAT EITHER MAIL IS READING YOUR TEXT AS IF IT WERE 
MACCYRILLIC OR YOU HAVE A MAC CYRILLIC POSTSCRIPT FONT SUBSTITUTING 
FOR THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE DISPLAYING.

&GT; SORRY, BUT I DON'T WRITE OR USE CYRILLIC. I DON'T KNOW THESE

>&GT; I AM WRITING A MELLEL FILE IN FRENCH. THE FONT IS TIMES NEW ROMAN.

&GT;> WHEN I CHANGE THE FONT IN MELLEL INTO LUCIDA GRANDE, AND THEN DRAG
>&GT; THE TEXT INTO MAIL, NO GIBBERISH APPEARS AND THE TEXT AND ACCENTS
&GT;> ARE OK.

>> THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DON'T LIKE THE FACE OF LUCIDA GRANDE.
&GT;> I AM LOOKING FOR A FONT WHICH WILL SHOW THE ACCENTS IN FRENCH IN
