Hi, If I have on a line Console.Writeline("£"); I get an accented A then the pound sign. I have a feeling this is a bug - can anyone confirm it. My locale is set to en_GB I'm using FC4, mono 1.1.6.5 (built from source 21/04/05). TTFN Paul -- "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Life of Brian, Monty Python
