[Lexicog] dictionary software

[Kenneth C. Hill]

I'm not up on Unicode yet and for my purposes it's not necessary (yet!).
How I handle printouts with acute accented ö and similar complications is
through the SIL Encore Fonts software. I made a font for Hopi which, among
other things, simply substitutes acute accented ö for the symbol ô. ô
itself is not used in Hopi spelling.
