Spanish subtitles: fonts
Any suggestions on how to put Spanish subtitles into my program? The text was typed in a Word for Windows document. I saved it as a TXT document. I was planning to cut and paste from the TXT file into FCP’s lower third text effect. But when I open the TXT on the G5, the accent marks are being replaced by capital letters. I realize this has something to do with differing ASCII codes, or something like that.
Is there a particular font I can use that will have the proper accent marks?
Thanks in advance . . . .

Might try using the same font that the word doc used?

I do Spanish all the time. You’ll have to delete and then retype the letters that need accents. You can use any font you want, but you need to memorize the codes. They aren’t that hard once you get going. Use the Option key and the letter that designates the code first, then type the letter over which you want the accent. For example,

I opened the actual Word document instead of a text only version of it. Textedit picked up all the proper formating with the Spanish accents. IOW, Textedit seems to read Word DOC format pretty darn well.
