I use the 'compose' key to generate characters such as the examples above. You'll find a list on: http://andrew.triumf.ca/iso8859-1-compose.html On ubuntu edgy you can define which key to set as the compose key in System - Preferences -Keyboard - Layout options. Then tap the compose key, tap the accent you want (key defined on the above web page, but most can be guessed and are easy to remember) and then the character. So, compose + , + C = Ç (0199) Of course, some characters that are not character + accent won't be covered. -- John [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
