Kent did you get any response to this? I have been wrestling with a similar problem for my wife's benefit - she's Hungarian. 1. Make sure you have the necessary fonts installed. 2. Install OPenOffice 3. Change to the French/German keyboard map setxkbmap fr ???? Y0u should be able to type in French now, and print too. At least that's how it worked here - much easier than I had feared! There is a "setting up an international keyboard" HOWTO which was most helpful! hth Glyn -- Debian Home http://www.debian.org Debian Planet http://www.debianplanet.org/ For the children http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr/ In a hurry??? http://qref.sourceforge.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
