Give pub/pc/win3/fonts/cmps1_33.zip on ftp.cica.indiana.edu a try. It lets
you use fairly mnemonic keystrokes for this kind of thing. For instance, 
typing 'n' and '~' creates the n-tilde character. This applet works for many
Windows apps. Even though I wrote this app, I can't quite recall if the V1.33
filename mentioned above is the latest version or not.
