Hi all... I have an odd setup with SuSE. I'm using 9.1 with a German keyboard but all the software I use is in English. BUTTT I write allot about German stamps so I need the German letters. I can type German letters in, üöä߀ and so on. The problem is with my wife's system. She uses WP4.2 in English. I save something that she writes as an ASCII file which shows the German fine on her dos system. But when I transfer it to my SuSE system all the German letters show up as either small squares or just blanks. Any ideas on how to fix this? (other than getting a new wife <G>) TIA!
