Hi Amy,   :icon_wave:

Welcome to our little family. Over 1900 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion. Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers.  Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now.  And it is always nice to have another sister.   :icon_hug:

I am a proud 55 yr old T-girl.  ;D

Janet

Hi Ámy and welcome :)

How do you get the accent to go that way on a capital A? Tried French, Italian and Spanish keyboard settings and still can't find it!

Maybe this will help I found it on the web.

Fonts can be opened with Font Book - application. If you have 10.3, it is located in your Applications folder.

You can see the character map on the menu bar. Go to System Preferences, in there to International > Input Menu. Select in that all the layouts you want to use (e.g. US, Italian PRO), and select "Character Palette". Then you will see a small flag on your menu bar to indicate your keyboard layout; scrolling down from the flag you will see character palette, and if you click on that it opens a new window.

Furthermore, many letters like ã ñ ä õ é á ó è à ò etc have a fast shortcut to be done, alt-something, so alt-u and then the letter for ü ä ö etc, alt-n for ñ õ ã, alt-e for é á ó, alt-` for à è ò and so on.

Thank you everyone for the welcome :icon_flower:

I use character map for special letters with a default font like Tohoma. I'm not a Mac user though, so I hope that TQ's advice is the way to go about it :)
