o/ l/ Yup - I confirm that. (This is Palatino 12: I made those by o + / and
l + /).
And not only that - it happens in TextEdit too - in both RTF and Plain Text
(you have to change the font back to Palatino from Monaco 10, which just so
happens to be the default when you switch to plain text).
Maybe once upon a time, before there were separate keyboards and language
kits this was a way to get these characters, in Palatino at least. (Note
that option-o also gets ø in all fonts, but option-l gets ¬. ) I wonder if
this behavior in plain text Monaco 10 was something that Entourage
developers once enabled while they were testing code, or more likely just
something they did wrong.
Anyway, call it a bug. If you really want plain text Monaco 10, check out
ProFont and ProFontISOLatin as alternatives.
