You will probably be happy to know that one manufacturer, DEC, has the
ability to use all of these wonderful European characters on it's newer
keyboards (that usually useless 'Symbol' key on the VT202's or whatever
they're called) which actually work on the Rainbow and print on DEC
dot-matrix printers.  They also have these characters in their fonts
for the LN01/LN01S.  DEC also has some sort of 'international' character
set whose lower 128 characters are the standard ASCII characters, while
the next 128 are a number of useful mathematical symbols and European
characters.

Also, the Xerox 8000's running STAR also have Spanish, German and (I
think) French characters available.  I know, I've written papers using
them!
