I'm playing with Spanish in Festival.

(voice_el_diphone )

sets up the voice fine, and

(lex.lookup 'mu~neca)

produces

("mu~neca" nil (((m u) 0) ((ny e1) 1) ((k a) 0)))

good stuff. Now I try accented vowels and I am not progressing at all. In

(lex.lookup 'María)

I'm trying to accent the i. But my console gives me

("María" nil (((e) 0) ((k i1 s) 1)))

same thing for estaría

Investigating festvox/spanlex.scm seems to indicate a "'" arrangement but this just truncates the output. Any hints?


I believe this is actually due to the terminal you are using (and festival readline command line interpretation. Accent characters (encoded in the upper part of an 8 bit encoding) aren't getting to the
system properly.

Try creating a file with  fff.scm

(format t "%l\n" (lex.lookup "María"))

in it, and the in Festival calling

(load "fff.scm")

Also you need to ensure that the encoding of the file is Latin-1 (rather than unicode -- I believe).
