Accents, Macs, PCs, étc.
In making my US Civil War 2013 scenario, I've come across something.
Well, for one thing, my scenario involves Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and, well, his name involves an accented letter. I am completely able to make accents on the Mac side, as can be seen in the latest version of the "Chávez death" text:
Attached below is an earlier version of the text, which I had typed on the Mac side and sent through to the Virtual PC side of my computer.
You can see what it does to the accented letters.
Any way I can solve that? How do you do Spanish-style accent marks? I can copy some French and German marks from the tongues' respective Civ II files, but I don't know about Español.
It's all actually a minor issue, but those accents on the names and such give such texts a flavor that I'd rather not lose.
Your advice?
Well, for one thing, my scenario involves Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and, well, his name involves an accented letter. I am completely able to make accents on the Mac side, as can be seen in the latest version of the "Chávez death" text:
^Hugo Rafaél Chávez Frías, the man who has dominated Venezuelan politics for over
^fifteen years, is slain on the North American battlefield.
^In North America, Venezuela and across the world, the controversial soldier-turned-
^politician's death is simultaneously praised by many as the downfall of an autocratic
^tyrant, yet mourned by many others as the end of a revolutionary statesman.
^
^The death of Chávez breaks the rock-solid hold of socialism on Venezuelan politics,
^and while the future of the Latin American nation is uncertain, one thing is clear:
^The "Bolivarian Revolution" has come to an end.
^
^As its first acts, the new provisional Venezuelan government votes to end its
^participation in the North American conflict, ensuring no more Venezuelan forces
^will be sent up north. Whether or not the units of the Venezuelan expeditionary
^force, whose commanders were chosen for their loyalty to the "Revolution" in
^general and Chávez in particular, will obey their new government's orders, however,
^remains to be seen.
