Macintosh PC Exchange: Losing Diacritical Marks
When I convert a foreign word processor or text file (German, Spanish,
French), from a DOS application to the Macintosh application, the special
accent characters change or disappear from the document. Why does this
happen, and what can I do to resolve the problem?
Because Macintosh PC Exchange isn't a language translator, it's up to the
specific Macintosh application to support the extended ASCII character set
of the PC application. Be sure to use an application that supports these
diacritical marks, so you won't lose them during the DOS-to-Macintosh
translation of the document.
