> And as a special bonus quesiton: Why is the five-pointed "star" > charater shown as a "six"-pointed star on the IBM-compatible keyboard? WHAT five-pointed star? An asterisk can have has many or as few points as the font designer wants to give it. Anyway, a six-pointed asterisk is much easier for the person designing the keycaps to draw. Three lines -- zhoop, zhoop, zhoop, done. Besides, before font madness swept the world, NOBODY CARED how many [expletive deleted] points an asterisk had (grumble, grumble, grumble...). Nevertheless, I eagerly await the announcement of the correct answer.... Dan Strychalski dsk...@cameonet.cameo.com.tw
