Printing Foreign Characters
__________________________________________________________________
How can I get AppleWorks to print foreign characters like the 
accent and tilde?

There are several possibilities:

EuroWorks: an add-on utility that lets you type accent marks after 
the characters (example, "nin~a") and automatically converts the 
text to accented characters when printing. The program uses the 
printer's built-in foreign language font, so output is very fast. 
Contact: The S.A. AuTeur Company, (503) 645-2306.

SuperFonts: this utility gives AppleWorks the ability to use IIgs 
fonts, which like Mac fonts, contain a full complement of foreign 
characters. You will have to enter the special SuperFonts codes 
into your document, which are less intuitive than the EuroWorks 
codes (example: "ni<x2>N<x1>a"). Additionally, SuperFonts prints 
more slowly than EuroWorks. Contact Beagle Bros (619) 452-5502.

The AppleWorks Forum: For do-it-yourself-ers, this is the handiest 
article written for customizing AppleWorks. It describes how to 
use AppleWorks printer codes that program your Epson or 
ImageWriter to act like a foreign language printer. The article 
appeared in their May 1988 issue. Contact: The National AppleWorks 
USers Group, (313) 454-1115.

(By the way: One of the easiest tricks you can use for simple 
foreign characters is to put a Control-H into one of the custom 
"special codes" in AppleWorks 3.0. For the ImageWriter, the 
Control-H code tells the ImageWriter to print the first character, 
backspace and then print the second character.  With this command 
you can do special characters that are combinations of TWO 
characters. For example, "nin<SC1>~a.")
