For example the "é" or the "è" or lots of others characters. >The same problem applies to German umlauts, like 'ü', 'ö' or 'ä'. And, for me at least, also has manifestations in English when dealing with unibyte characters with the high bit set. For example when I read your above line using emacspeak-speak-line the umlaut is spoken with characters like "A tilde 1 fourth" which isn't the character of course. Putting the cursor over the umlaut and executing the commands m-x emacspeak-speak-set-display-table to iso-ascii and then m-x emacspeak-speak-display-char gets the answer I want. I presume what we want to happen here is for these characters to be considered "normal" which might be as simple as making language-specific syntax tables. This discussion probably belongs on the emacspeak list and there's every chance TVR has a solution we just haven't noticed yet. If not I'm already some way down a (possibly wrong) track to fixing this and the incentive to get French working is high so I'll keep looking if necessary. cheers Peter
