Now, what really puzzles me it that, although I just typed and proof read
that the � symbol is OK on my window,"
And what appeared on my display (via email), where those degree signs (º)
should have been, is a hollow rectangle. I don't know whether my pasted
copy will look the same to others.
Indeed, it's the same rectangle symbol that appears to me in Kermit's
signoff line, as follows-
"Antoine M. "Kermit" Cou�tte"
where, presumably , he has included a grave (?) accent above the e in
Couette.
I don't suppose that information wil be very helpful.
