Thanks that worked great, but where is it located so if I have to find it in the future and I forget the shortcut?
You have to learn more about the keyboard. There has been the last few days at least two thread concerning symbols and keyboards. Have a look at them. Also read the Mac Help from the Finder Help menu. Get a book like The missing manual XXX. XXX stands for the MacOs sytem you have on your computer.
In OS X 10.2, & earlier there was a utility called KeyCaps. This was replaced in Panther & higher with "Keyboard Viewer." Open the International Preference Pane, click on the Input Menu tab & click the box next to Keyboard Viewer. This will make this available in your menu bar by clicking the flag icon. Select "Show Keyboard Viewer" from the flag menu & you will see a layout of the keyboard. You can then hold down the shift key, the option key OR shift + option to see all the possibilities. The highlighted ones are the accents than you can apply to letters. To get "é" type option-e (nothing will appear), then type e. This accent could be place over most letters. You can change the font in the drop-down menu. Not all fonts will have all characters. Keyboard Viewer places the typing directly into the top, open document.
There is no font menu in keyboard viewer in 10.6, is there?
No, there's not. I was busily "tweaking" an old answer & missed that. Thanks, Tom.
