Here's an answer to part of the question: Adobe's PostScript fonts contain ash, eth, macron, and thorn (majorscule and miniscule for ash, eth, and thorn). Other PostScript font vendors who supply the same character set in their fonts will have these also. Those who have PostSript printers will have these characters in their printers' resident fonts. I don't know, specifically, if any Mac applications support these characters. -- Jim Ingram uunet!h-three!jimi | jimi%h-three@uunet.uu.net h-three Systems Corporation P.O.
