For example the "�" or the "�" or lots of others characters. >The same problem applies to German umlauts, like '�', '�' or '�'. 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
