Bob,

We all use the same Macintosh fonts, wherever we live (well almost,
I apologize to the japanese readers of this message). The standard fonts
all have accented characters included for all germanic, roman and 
celtic languages, including French. What changes is the presence of
foreign KCHR resources in the system file, which remaps the keyboard
for a specific country. The US version of the System contains only the
resource for the american keyboard. The french system contains a french
KCHR resource as well as the american one. In Switzerland, where we 
speak french, german and italian, there are four KCHR resources.

You can select the keybard layout you wish to use by selecting it 
with the Keyboard CDEV in the Control Panel, provided that the
corresponding KCHR is present in the System file. There's no need to
reboot, as it was the case in older versions of the System. Apple
has done a very nice job here. My compliments.

I'm afraid I cannot send you a French KCHR, as the Swiss french 
"QWERTZ" keyboard layout is different from the french "AZERTY".
However, someone in France can surely help you.
