Hein, greetings. Future emails should probably be sent to debian-user for questions; it has a large distribution, and are more likely to have people who have dealt with your situation.
As for the keyboard, I suggest checking the keymap you are trying to use for a missing punctuation character. I don't remember if I saw this cause of problems in the Debian-x mail list or on the OpenBSD mail list; so, it would be a good idea to check through the file and ensure that the correct punctuations are included. I don't know about your keys situation. Did this situation work before? And, as for the fonts, this is by design. Look in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc for the fix, or look in the debian-x archives for the last day for postings I have made on this situation. (Or is that [EMAIL PROTECTED] Drat short memory...)
