They *ought* to be standardized. e-umlaut should be ë and it is your browser's responsibility to show it correctly. If somebody uses a control character in an HTML source, that's technically illegal, although most browsers will make it look okay. (Of course, my version of lynx showed no special characters :-\ Anyway, if the people whose webpages have that problem don't use the legal &whatever; characters then you should let them know? >This one in western(latin) This one left Outlook Express okay. Your next post, in reply to vk's, was in latin-2 again, and killed it once more :( I think we have our problem!

Here's a diddle... Whether or not it's an improvement is debatable. I've
never seen the Q2 logo, so pretty much all I did was try to smooth the
curves (And make it look really f'in dotty.. Although that was really
intentional)... I've said it before and I'll say it again... Curves are
bloody hard.
