Sorry, but the ASCII character set doesn't have those characters (you can see what's available with 'perl -e "for (1..255) {print chr}"). Perl 5.6 supports multibyte characters now, so you might look into whether that could help you out. Otherwise, graphic files are probably the way you need to go. | [reply]

This is depends of font, which may or may not have characters you want with your encoding.
if
perl -e "print chr for 0..255"
shows your characters, then you will succeed, otherwise you need to install and use appropriate font.
Sometimes I do programming for Russia, and such problem is quite common to me.

If you are willing to go with some european charset, these
contain some characters like é etc., especially
the french language uses them. But for the "v" above chars,
you'll have to look into some czech charsets...
I see three solutions :
- You use HTML for your output. There is almost no hassle,
as HTML provides you with a large choice of umlauts and stuff.
It's not completely trivial, as you want to use "accents" on
umlauted letters ...
- You use a two-row table and HTML for your output.
In the upper table, you use the chars v,^,/,\ to
designate the intonation stuff and in the lower row you
put the actual letters. Kludgy, but could work.
- You use a two-row plain text output. Even more kludgy,but
should also work.
- If course, there is also always the option of using
TeX and a PDFwriter to create PDF output, but that might
be too much overhead ;)
