And in another message: > http://modern-greek-verbs.tripod.com/home.html#unicode Your document is impressive, and it clearly shows why we need Unicode (a system which allows mixing many different languages in one document) and also why we need input systems capable of switching between languages very quickly (i.e. not requiring going through complicated nested menus). Fonts are not a real problem. There are many fonts which can display both ancient and modern Greek in UTF-8. You do not especially need the XP version of Times New Roman (although thanks for the tip). As far as switching between Latin and Greek is concerned, I would recommend setting the "group toggle" key to only one single key, not something like control-alt-K. I just set it to "Left-Windows" which (on my system) is not used for anything useful. It really cycles, i.e. when you get to the end of the possible groups, you get back to the beginning. That does not seem to work for you; I do not know why. Greek is, of course, a language which is enormously important in the history of civilisation, and is therefore of interest to people from many different cultures (or, in computer terms, 'locales'). Such people could very well be resident in Greece, so they need to enter both 'ancient' and 'modern' Greek in their computers with a minimum of fuss. Therefore now I think that there should be either -- one "gr" keyboard layout which allows entering both modern and ancient Greek. -- two "gr" keyboard layout variants, one which is optimised for modern Greek, and another one which enables inputting BOTH ancient and modern Greek (i.e both tonos and oxía) - although it might be somewhat sub-optimal compared to a keyboard which is 'modern Greek only'. BTW What is a 'tiny elvis'? Regards, Jan -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
