Chris:
Two answers here, I think.
1. You can assign keystrokes in Word or whatever, as others have already
said. But these don't work in plain text, unless you cut and paste.
2. With the Numberlock on and holding the Alt key down you can type the
ANSI values (01 to 0255) of the characters you require in plain text,
html or Word. These are 0238, 0224, 0225, 0226, 0227, 0228 in your
examples. Though dull, this is probably the least tedious procedure
where emails are concerned.
Does this help?

Subject: accent fonts
Since the subject came up... does anyone know where I could find the
keystroke commands for accented letters? I am using a Mico+ACQ-oft US ASCII
keyboard(terribly imperialist.)
ISO 8859-15 (unicode) is my default character set but I simply cannot
find the keyboard commands to produce the characters I need, usually
produced using the control or alt keys and from memory there is a
standard set of keystrokes which will produce these characters on an US
ASCII keyboard.
for example.... here is part of my iso 8859-15 character set....
356 238 EE +AO4- LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH CIRCUMFLEX
340 224 E0 +AOA- LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVE
341 225 E1 +AOE- LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH ACUTE
342 226 E2 +AOI- LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX
343 227 E3 +AOM- LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH TILDE
344 228 E4 +AOQ- LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS
(the first three rows are just octal, decimal and hex codes which
produce the desired character so if need be I can map these into the
keyboard but would still like to use the standard control and alt
keystrokes.)
best wishes and many thanks if anyone can help me out....
Chris Jones.
