Does this apply to accented characters such as in Léon, where the cover shows the é but it's impossible to type this on a normal English keyboard? However, the question is not how leon appears on the front cover, BUT as he appears in the Credits. Actor info comes ONLY from the film credits as defined within the Rules.

It's easy to type on a normal English Keyboard
AltGr + e
Not so! What's the "AltGr" key? It's the Alt-Button on the right. Left one is normal and doesn't have the "special" functions.  |

Doesn't work on my keyboard. Must be an American Keyboard, not an English. No, serious, it must really be like this. Look at this page: http://ascii-table.com/keyboards.phpNext to the nationalities are links to the graphics of the different keyboard layouts. Looks like American keyboards don't have this function. | | | | Last edited: by VirusPil |

Imho it's not part of the graphic and also not similar to the Trademark sign, it's part of the writing/title, so it has to be with accent. And if no accent is on cover, but the original title (if you take it according the rules) has an accent you've to fill in both. |

| | Posted: | | | | I've had several US keyboards where the Alt key on the left locked Alt on; to shut it off you had to hit the right Alt key. I hate that.  | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | My Dell keyboard at work with two Alt keys doesn't do that either. They're probably hardwired to equal the same key.
I'm tempted to open it up to see.

Skip I have two versions, one with the accent, one without. My Keyboard has Alt Gr which activates accented characters when held down. Can't do umlauts though! |

| | Posted: | | | | I always bring up the character list in my word processor and copy and paste. Holding alt and typing 130 also works, but I can never remember that. |

that worked... someone help Skip get his first star ... I'm wondering why he doesn't have one. He often brings in good posts to a discussion, so this should also be honored from the other users. Why treating him different like other users? just because there is some kind of "antipathy" against him in the forum. Don't think this is right. |
