french character table

[Thi Vu]

Hello everyone,

Where can I go to get a table of French char conversion. For example I have an "e" (with ' on top of the e char.) in a file and when I print the file (via UNIX) it shows as O (capital o with ~ on top) and in the same file the letter "c" (with a sort of inverted ? stick to the bottom of the c) but the print out show O (with ' on top). So my question is, how do I know what code the file was originate before it goes to the printer. The printer has the Symbol Set = Roman-8.

Thank you for your help.

Try this ..

# iconv -t roman8 -f iso88591_1 the_file > new_file

Then try printing "new_file".
