Thanks for the info, I thought it did not matter at all.


It's a fine diffference. Fine but existing. Ligatuation and typesetting is somewhat special in german. But you're right, in this case it doesn't matter, my friendly note was just caused by the urge of correctness. ::-)

(btw, on non-german keyboard you can usually still make a ß (alt+b on my Finnish and alt+s on my international keyboard )


On my US Sun keyboard, I can press Compose s s to get an ß. A friend of mine has a swedish keyboard where ß is possible, too. But as Thom mentioned, the ß wasn't present in the font he used. There are many requirements for a good internationalisation.
