BUMP: Icelandic character composition not working
Hi Again, If this is not the correct place to ask about this, please just let me know. Otherwise, any ideas? Jay Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong list; I am not sure where to turn. In RedHat Linux running under xwindows provided by Cygwin/XFree86, I am able to type all the foreign characters I need to use, except for one Icelandic characters (I can type other Icelandic characters). Again, this is to type such characters in linux programs and documents running under X. My guru mapped the Right Alt key as the Multi_key and so with it I can make characters like þ and Þ and Ä, etc., by typing combinations of letters, etc. However, I have not been able to figure out how to make the thorn (eth) character which I think is 208 and 240 decimal. It is the character that looks like a d or D with a horizontal line through it. The docs say that I am supposed to be able to use: minus Dor D minus minus dor d minus (minus = dash = - ) I have Googled and just am not finding the right page. Any ideas? Thanks. Jay
