What word processor are you using? Word 6.0 (and 5.1, for that matter)

certainly have an insert character window which will show you all of

the characters in your font. I am fairly sure there is something similar in

Word Perfect.



I use ClarisWorks, SimpleText, and occasional other things. And

WordPerfect has the nasty habit (at least in Wintel-based programs) of

using special fonts and character codes that nothing else can make

sense of. (And sometimes I even want to use some of these characters

in a file name, where I'm dealing directly with the Finder.)
