(...) Yes! 'é' please... it'll save me having to type cafe in Word® (which gets automatically converted to café) and copying the 'é' back to LUGNET.

(...) You might want to try typing ALT + 162 to get the ¢ sign. Though as I've mentioned in another posting... for some reason, I need to type ALT + 0162 to get the right value.
