I try on 3 different versions: Win'98 Slovenian, Win 2000 English and
Win XP Slovenian. Result is allways the same
(http://www.sp.uni-lj.si/bojan/statuni/datoteke/temp/q.gif).
Therefore, it seems to me that result is *not* connected with the OS
version(?).
Will someone please try this on his computer? C caron Unicode is 010C
(uppercase) and 010D (lowercase C caron).
