Re: Font layouts

In Windows 95 (at least), there is a keyboard layout called United States
International.
It lets you make accented/etc. characters by using the ALT-GR (right alt)
button and the key, or CTRL-ALT and the key.  Also, you can make various
characters by using specific keys.
' and then e = e-risingaccent
" and then o = o-umlaut
^ and then u = u-circumflex
~ and then n = n-tilde

etc.
