That's *extremely* strange. I just tried it and it shows $š in both 
cases in a current updated trunk image after selecting a suitable font 
(I used Arial). What image are you using? Which font(s) did you use to 
try this?

Can someone else try to verify this with a current trunk image? (I'm 
wondering if I screwed something up with my own experiments here) You 
should see no difference between printing (Character leadingChar: 14 
code: 353) and (Character value: 353) (i.e., they either both display as 
$? or they both display as $š).

Cheers,
