Thanks for your reply justi and maaten.<div><br></div><div>Justi, a simple context.ShowText("é") or context.ShowText("»"); followed by any other drawing operations should show it. (If that somehow doesn't display in the mailing archive that was an e with acute accent and a right guillemet.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Maaten, I had read about the "toy" aspect of those calls and the recommendation to use Pango, but since I'm not doing anything more than placing text, don't need anything special, I hadn't gone that way, yet. So I guess I will now.</div>
