indeed, I recently changed my settings from western(latin) to Central
European (ISO-8859-2), because I get the strangest characters in
webpages, where people meant to put an e-umlaut, e-accent-aigu or others
accents.
(why are those characters NOT standardized in HTML?)

This one in western(latin)

OK: My first try in ascii-art
I've tried to make the logo of my University
(Universiteit Twente, NL: http://www.utwente.nl)

Critics, comments and refinements are welcome!
Those curves are harder than I thought!

They *ought* to be standardized.  e-umlaut should be &euml; 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.
