Very good. I particularly like the hatted Ws at 129 & 130, and the
hatted Ys at 133 & 134. The single quotes at 144 & 145, and the
double quotes at 148 & 149 should be quite useful, as should the
ellipsis at 140?

But beware, it depends on your default fount. 129 is "usually" a Euro
sign, 133 the elipsis (...) sign, 134 a dagger(?), 140 OE ligature.
Are you using an Archimedes, or used to using Welsh? John

Neither!

I am using RISC OS, though, on a Risc PC.

But shouldn't the Euro be at 128? The OE lig. is at 154 and 155.
Anyway, it illustrates the danger of assuming all platforms always use
the same standards, especially when positions 128 to 159 aren't defined
in those standards.
