>However when written with 'dj' versus 'đ' , western pronounciation is far closer to real, then if I write 'Srđan' , which is to everybody else then us - actually 'Srdan'. And that is miles away from my name.
>You are lucky with name like 'Dragan' - no mispronounciation can be done there :)

You kidding me? 99% of the people mispronounce it as Dragon; Rox actually called me Draygen, and 99% of the people get a sprained tongue somewhere halfway through the last name, to which I say "yes, that's correct".

>BTW, I copypasted this 'đ' from yr reply - how did you get it ??

Control Panel / Regional and language options / Languages tab / cmdDetails / add keyboard layouts. I actually keep four layouts - ctrl+shift+1 Serbian Latin, +2 American, +3 Hungarian, +4 Serbian ћирилица. The first one I set as default. It may ask you for the install CD if you got the short version of the fonts.
