On my laptop running snv_95 (OpenSolaris), I'm unable to type any special accented characters unless I enter the mysterious "Latin" input mode and select "English/European" as a "language". I'm totally confused by this, and dislike it, as this input mode has all kinds of nasty warts, such as the inability to type simple characters like " and ' by themselves without some special keyboard tricks. My locale is en_US.UTF-8 by default. I don't speak Latin, and I'm not European. I'm actually typing in French to someone in Canada, in case it matters, so this has little to do with Latin, English, or Europe. :-)
How should this work? I'm guessing that I'm missing something subtle and that I don't actually have to switch back and forth to this "Latin" thing (hopefully). Thanks, -Seb
