Hi, if you want your system in English but want to be capable of using accents you can just change the LC_CTYPE to LC_CTYPE=pt_PT, you dont need to change the LANG and the LC_ALL. Mine is LC_CTYPE=pt_BR and works fine. HTH, Rafael Sasaki -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I finally got an answer, and it worked: just set the LANG and LC_ALL environment variables to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Portugal, in my case). I still don't understand why accented characters work with any other application even with LANG set to C, as it was before... And I don't really want to change locales anyway, I want my system in English, but I can live with a temporary change if that means being able to use OOo.

After reading euro-support, I finally managed to type and see the euro-symbol on the console. Under X I still can't type it (with the already mentioned exception of Openoffice), but I can see it. I really can't understand what's happening, because when I use xev and I type the AltGr+E combination, it reports: KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x241, root 0x36, subw 0x0, time 524986747, (617,-180), root:(621,184), state 0x2010, keycode 26 (keysym 0x20ac, EuroSign), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" So the systems knows I want an EuroSign, but apparently can't map it to a symbol?

You mean, adding /home/carlos/OpenOffice.org641/share/fonts/truetype to the X font dirs, and then try to use the opens___.ttf font? Haven't tried, but what would that accomplish? -- Carlos Sousa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Even typing on an xterm yields the correct accented characters, it's only Openoffice that's misbehaving. I've already posted twice to their discuss list, but didn't get any conclusive answers yet. A curiosity, though, that might be related: I can type the euro-sign in Openoffice, but NOWHERE else under X or in the console! -- Carlos Sousa -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've both console and X configured to work with an es_ES keymap and keyboard. Abiword works well just as any other KDE application, but I could not get OpenOffice to work properly. Both ñÑ and çÇ work OK but the accents don't work. Given that it seems to be a problem with OpenOffice, I guess asking in some OO-specific mailing list should yield more answers. I haven't tried it myself yet but it's likely I'll need to do it soon.

You just can do an 'setxkbmap es' and you can use what is usually the ';' key in a US layout keyboard as ñ and I somewhere else (I donn't remember right now) is the accent.

Re: accented characters in linux/Debian?
Hi, Setting your keyboardmap to us_intl works for me in KDE apps, like this: setxkbmap us_intl Don't know if abiword and openoffice react te same as KDE apps.

accented characters in linux/Debian?
Hi, I will have to use some accented characters, along with some 'enye's in my documents in Spanish. Does anyone know how to quickly get these characters, possibly through a keystroke toggle or some such? (I use Abiword/OpenOffice right now).
