Pablo, I searched on the net and found this article which this person mentioned you. I was wondering whether I need to set or use UTF-locale. If this true, why it works for Thai and Hebrew, Greek, ....etc.
When I issued the command 'locale charmap' the locale is ISO-8859-1. By the way, did you get a chance to test lo keysyms I sent? Thanks. Sak ********************************** X window system Prepare locale and keyboard create directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/en_GB.UTF-8 copy XLC_LOCALE from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8 into this directory. If you want to input non-ascii characters, you may need a compose map. Unfortunately, compose maps provided with xfree86 are somewhat insufficient. See http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/i18n/2001-August/002278.html Download the Compose.gz file (by Pablo Saratxaga), gunzip and place it in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/en_GB.UTF-8 Edit file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/compose.dir and add there these lines: (is this really necessary?) en_GB.UTF-8/Compose: en_GB.UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8/Compose en_GB.UTF-8 Edit file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir and add there these lines: en_GB.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE: en_GB.UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE en_GB.UTF-8 Also download us_intl.gz file, gunzip it and put it into /etc/X11/xkb/symbols (this will give you much better keyboard for writing various accented latin letters). Notice that version by Pablo has some minor typos in it, these are corrected in my file. ______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
