Even worse, French.

bom=B7b=E9 =A0=A0 (=A0P=A0)=A0=A0Pronunciation Key=A0=A0(bmb, b=F4-)
adj.
Curving or bulging outward. Used of furniture.
[French, from bombe, bomb. See bomb.]

Found this definitition too, so now need to figure out if the guy
is wanting to make a chest, or dessert.

bombe =A0=A0 (=A0P=A0)=A0=A0Pronunciation Key=A0=A0(bm, b=F4b)
n.
A dessert consisting of two or more layers of variously flavored ice
cream frozen in a round or melon-shaped mold.
[French (from its shape). See bomb.]

But now, a lot of us can be much more sophisticated. Instead of
saying we have a fat gut, we can just say we have a bombe shape.

Thank goodness the guy isn't in the Air Force, he would be making chests
with huge doors on the bottom, [bomb bay !!!]

Yeah, well...the next time it comes up, if I remember (which I almost certainly
won't).

It only works if you happen to be running Windows anyway.

The quickest way to produce such characters is to use a different keyboard
layout. KDE (one of the GUIs for Linux) makes this more obvious than
Windows does, but I used to have Windows configured to allow me to switch
among several layouts too.

Spanish gets you:

¡! ¿? á é í ó ú à è ì ò ù â ê î ô û ä ë ï ö ü ñ Ñ çÇ ºª ?

though it makes many of the punctuation characters hard to find, and it
takes a bit of getting used to.

OK, OK, I'm a language dork. :)

I can't remember them either ... so I use the chararacter map to quickly
identify the code I need. Of course you can always insert the character
directly, but if I'm going to use it more than once, I select the character
and note the ALT+ code in the lower right corner of the window.

Thought I'd share a hint with you ... in return for all you've shared with
the net. Thanks.

Regards,

Rick
