With some trepidation, because I am probably overlooking something very obvious....
I confess that I was unaware of the Keyboard Viewer until Haumann drew my attention to it recently (thanks John), and find that I can use it to insert the more usual accented letters.
But what about all the other special characters that I find in the Character Palette, which I now access more quickly in the same way rather than via the Font Book. I have succeeded in the past in using it, but seem to have lost the knack. Highlighting the character I want does not bring the insert button into play.
Is this because a) upgrading to Tiger has changed things, or b) I am now using fonts (New York and Tahoma most frequently) which don't work with the character palette, or c) (most likely) I am forgetting an integral step in the process?
I'm sure someone can put me straight.
