Hey all

I'm tryign to build an array that's not five miles long that has all the letters in all latin based languages. The problem is that I cant' seem to find a listing of letters. For English it's obviously easy, but I need other languages like German and others have have accents as well.

So start from 32 instead of 1.

All latin letters should be in that character set. If they're not then they're not worth using.

Unicode? Bah. ASCII is all that anyone needs.

I guess the confusion that I'm having is that when looking at an ascii listing, it's onyl showing me (along other non-letter things) just the English alphabet. m I looking at the wrong ascii list or something?

You may be using the wrong font to view Latin characters. For example,
TNR and Arial only support 75% (96 of 128) of the Latin-1 Supplement.

In case of confusion, here is the full (and only) ASCII table:

well at least that explains why stuff was missing.

I'll give T's example a spin, see what happens.
