Any of you fools know how to set one of these in a line of type? I've switched my keyboard to Hungarian and still can't find the key command.

I haven't tried it in practice yet, but this should help. Wikipedia The technical notes section has the code to type in to get the diacritical mark.

I saw that, too, but wasnt sure how that would work for me. Is code just for web? I'm working in Quark.

Unfortunately, I can't even just copy and paste those that appear on Wikipedia.

Hungarians are wayyy lame.

I don't know what the process is on a mac, but in windows go to start menu/all programs/accessories/system tools/character map. The character map program gives you many different characters to choose from and you can paste into a word program or such and copy to almost anything. I would try doing that on a pc and then copy it into quark. Its definitely not just a web thing, but I don't really see why you couldn't copy from the web into quark. I've used it for art history papers so it will print just fine. I'm sure mac has a prettier version of the program, but I've never used it. Its probably round and sleek and silver and glows.

Sweet. I got it now. Apparantly all I needed was the Central European version of my font. This is indicated by CE (i.e. "Helvetica CE" rather than "Helvetica"). These families have several additional characters not typically found in a set.

Just charged the Ambassador $24 bucks. Something tells me she can afford it.
